SteveB, do you have a good howto for greylisting other than in the package itself? I want to test it first. postgrey 1.15 available now at: http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/pub/ 1.16 is now available. There is a howto at http://home.coming.dk/amavis.html, which includes postgrey. I'm using it on my main mail server for quite some time now, and it helps to cut the load to SA quite down a bit :) Created attachment 50561 [details]

Tuan Van (comment 8): Have a look at http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/ Tuan pointed me to this. Here go some comments and questions: Dependencies according to postgrey homepage: Perl (version ≥ 5.6.0) Net::Server IO::Multiplex BerkeleyDB (Perl module) Berkeley DB (Library, version ≥ 4.1) Any reason for specific versions in the attached ebuild? >=dev-perl/net-server-0.85 >=dev-perl/IO-Multiplex-1.08 >=dev-perl/BerkeleyDB-0.25 Any reason for creating /etc/postfix this should be handled by Postfix? # postgrey data in /etc/postfix dodir /etc/postfix keepdir /etc/postfix insinto /etc/postfix Like wise with /etc/conf.d? # postgrey config for gentoo dodir /etc/conf.d keepdir /etc/conf.d insinto /etc/conf.d On the postive side this ebuild seems to be more userfriendly with configuration . I'm a bit short on time now so I have't actually tested it yet but will do so later. Created attachment 50651 [details] postgrey-1.17-r3.ebuild To: Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (Comment #16): I am just to carefull ;) Anyway... I took out the additional creation of /etc/postfix, /etc/init.d and /etc/conf.d The versioning of the 3 packages you mentioned are gone as well. And I added the creation of /etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local (if it does not exist. Since this is the best place to add your own servers into). cheers Steve Ok, got a bit more time to check out this one. Comments follow:
SRC_URI also seems to differ from the official download link. Any reason?
enewuser, enewgroup, newins, newexe, dosbin transparently handles error conditions and ${S} always exist. At least many ebuilds use them without catching errors.
I don't think the empty src_compile is needed.
SLOT="0" is missing.
In pkg_postinst do s/durig/during/
Also I think the einfo is too long. I guess users should know how to add postgrey to a run level and perhaps point users to a doc file describing the whitelist syntax.
Still not actively tested though.

postgrey-1.17-r4.ebuild
SRC_URI is not diffrend then the original download link. I only included a link
to the /tools/postgrey/pub/old directory, because if the ebuild would stay long
in portage and postgrey would get updated then the ebuild could still download
the tar.gz file from the /old directory. That's all.
About the transparent handling of errors: I am just to carefull. That's all.
The empty src_compile: Same as with the transparent error handling.
SLOT: Yes! It is missing. Sorry ;)
About the einfo: I know that it is long. I made it shorter now.
cheers

Should be updated to 1.21. 1.18 and below have a DoS vulnerability, documented in http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/postgrey/msg00627.html and http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/postgrey/msg00647.html . The ebuild looks like it works for 1.21 without changes (I haven't tested functionality of installed postgrey yet). Some questions though - why do you handle whitelist files installing so awkwardly? Also, where are whitelist .local files coming from? Your ebuild tries to install them from portage's temp. directory for postgrey ($T), but how do they get there? Ok, it seems to work, but there's a missing runtime dep - dev-perl/Net-DNS. postgreyreport needs it. Ok, postgrey-1.21 ebuild is in portage, based on latest attachment here, with some modifications. Thanks a lot. Thank you Andrej! If you have some time, then please have a look at SQLgrey ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71535 ). It is another Greylisting service, but it uses SQL to store the data. I would be very happy if you could have a look at it and if you could push that one to portage CVS as well. Kind Regards SteveB |
