For V3.0.0

PREREQUISITES


  • Postfix
  • PHP5 with DBA support (php5-dba)
  • Oracle Berkley DB 4 or 5
  • Optionally mysql and PHP mysql extension (php5-mysql) if using mysql queries to block users instead of postfix access files


INSTALL


1. Copy the files to a suitable directory and change permissions

	tar -xvzf check_auth_log_vX.Y.tgz
	cd check_auth_log_vX.Y
	mkdir /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log
	cp check_auth_log /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log
	cp run_check_auth_log /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log
	cp check_auth_log_makefile /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log
	cp check_auth_log.conf.sample /etc/check_auth_log.conf
	chown root:root /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log/*
	chmod 600 /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log/*

2. Check that the path to php is correct at the first line of check_auth_log

3. Customize configuration variables in /etc/check_auth_log.conf

4. If using the email notification to blocked users, set up the template file (see example notify.txt). The file contains headers and text of the notify message, with headers separated from the text by a blank line. It is useful to specify at least a Subject: header. From: and To: headers should not be specified as these are added by the script. Setup the notify_block_email_template variable to point to the template and make sure the user running check_auth_log has read permission to the file.

  notify_block_email_template = /path to template /notify.txt

5. Depending on the blocking method you wish to use (via access files mysql query or exim) follow the instructions below in one of sections A, B or C

A. IF USING POSTFIX ACCESS FILES TO BLOCK USERS


(1) Customize variables in check_auth_log_makefile to your postfix installation and database type/databsae extension (default is hash with .db extension)

(2) Customize path in run_check_auth_log to your script install directory

(3) If needed setup whitelist to exlude some senders from checks

	touch /etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access_whitelist
	postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access_whitelist

If not using whitelist adjust the submission_sender_checks below so as not to list the whitelist.

(4) Setup initial empty access database

	touch /etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access
	postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access

(5) Update postfix submission access restrictions

In main.cf add a new smtpd_restriction_class. In that class the suggested actions are

  • exclude any users needed via whitelist
  • add check_sender_access to read the access file containing blocked senders (as written by check_auth_log script)
  • rest of checks normally done in smtpd_sender_restrictions on your submission service (e.g. reject unless sender is logged in as owner of email address)
main.cf:
smtpd_restriction_classes = submission_sender_checks
submission_sender_checks = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access_whitelist,check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_auth_access,reject_sender_login_mismatch

In master.cf configure the smtp_sender_restrictions fro the submission service.

master.cf;
submission inet n      -       n       -       -       smtpd
...
        -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=submission_sender_checks
... 

(6) reload postfix

	postfix reload

B. IF USING MYSQL TO BLOCK USERS


(1) Customize variables in check_auth_log.conf to your mysql hostname database and query for blocking/unblocking users

	sql_connect =   "mysql://username:password@hostname:port/database"
        sql_block =	"update mailbox set active=0 where username='%u'"
        sql_unblock =	"update mailbox set active=1 where username='%u'"

C. IF USING EXIM TO BLOCK USERS


(1) Customize variables in check_auth_log_makefile to your exim installation

Example

	exim_blcok_file = /tmp/blocklist
	exim_temp_file = /tmp/blocklist.out

(2) In your exim configuration, setup so that those senders cannot send email.

Example:

acl_check_sender:
        deny    senders = /etc/blocklist
        accept

POST-INSTALL


1. If upgrading from a previous version find the database files, e.g

	ls -la /tmp/.check_auth_log*

and remove them, for example

	rm /tmp/.check_auth_log_cache
	rm /tmp/.check_auth_log_db

(this will also cancel previously logged authentications from the internal database)

2. do a test run

	/path-to-script/check_auth_log

then check that the database and cache files have been created in the configured locations, for example

	/tmp/.check_auth_log_cache
	/tmp/.check_auth_log_db

if there are sasl authentication sessions in the log file you should also get an output from:

	/path-to-script/check_auth_log -x

Check that blocking is set up correctly, so that if number of authentications is exceeded then user is effectively blocked by chosen method (recommended to use a test account for this).

3. Schedule in cron

e.g. (if using access files)

*/5 * * * *     root /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log/run_check_auth_log

or (if using mysql)

*/5 * * * *     root /usr/local/bin/check_auth_log/check_auth_log
