MAIL: false positives from spamhouse

[chymian 0]

@girish
as I wrote,

temporarily it shows false positives from spamhouse, and rejects mail.
the false positive toggles.

ATM, its on green state.

I'm losing a lot of mails every day, b/c. of the broken mailsystem.
how to get that fixed asap?
this is ongoing for a while and after having asked here in the forum serveral times, does it help I finally open a bugreport?

ATM, I'm running a 24h script, quering spamhaus every 15 sec.
and will come back with results tomorrow

[nebulon]

@chymian-0 I am not sure how losing mails is related to the the rather informational report Cloudron gives on the spamhaus status.

[girish]

@chymian-0 You can just disable zen till the root cause is determined . https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#dnsbl

@girish
checking spamhause for 24h, there was no false-positive from the shell-script.
but during that time, cloudron reported many times, being blocked on spamhaus....

today, since more and more of the apps where reported starting (never left that state), but responding - a behavior which I have been seen growing during the last weeks, I rebooted the server, with the result, that nginx stayed down.

fiddeling & troubleshouting brought it up again.

Q: is there a way to regenerate all configs in /etc/nginx/applications/*` at once - including Dashbord?

the PreProcess: /usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g 'daemon on; master_process on;'
was hanging, what led me to DNS

and that might be the reason for the ongoing mail-problems:
False DNS-resolution from 127.0.0.1:

nslookup heise.de
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Non-authoritative answer:

Address: 127.255.255.254

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
#nameserver 10.11.1.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 46.105.206.200

WORKAROUND:

• for the time being, I removed DNSBL.
• I removed 127.0.0.1 from /etc/resolv.conf and it's working.

@nebulon

@chymian-0 I am not sure how losing mails is related to the the rather informational report Cloudron gives on the spamhaus status.

but it was happenening a lot, as I showed in the example the initial post.
I also could not understand, but the DNS-pbl. could explain it? right?

and a little OT, but you migth be interessted in:
FYI: some process in cloudron was writing uncontrolled to the log dir:

HINT: some unambiguous words (melchizedek) I used recently in a Open WebUI chat…

[chymian]

and even so, the DNSLB is removed, it still reports false positive:

as of now…

I'm out of ideas

[chymian]

@girish & @nebulon any ideas?
cloudron server is malfunctioning and loosing data every day. pls help to find the issue!

[nebulon]

So what you see here is the result of the rbl check at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/mail.js?ref_type=heads#L492

This is only for information here and even if that reports wrongly, it is not related to the actual mail server itself. So it is unclear why you would lose emails if indeed your server is not on a blocklist. Can you double check that this is really the case and then we have to see if we have a bug in the display of the status.

[necrevistonnezr]

@chymian said in MAIL: false positives from spamhouse:

cloudron server is malfunctioning and loosing data every day. pls help to find the issue!

Please be more precise, because this is a rather serious allegation.

[chymian]

@nebulon , thanks for reply.
in the first post, I copied a undeliverable testmail from spamhoaus to cloudron, b/c it was denieing the reception.

here a little oversight:

and they all look similar…

all these hosts are N.O.T. blacklisted. I checked.
also, false positives…
