Archive Outgoing mails, Have a copy of all the outgoing mails

Hi,

I want a copy of all the outgoing mails on the server. This is the requirement of the organization. The configuration is as follows but still it doesnt works.

filter.out.tab is as follows:

"*" "*" "0.0.0.0/0" "0.0.0.0/0" "copy.tab"

copy.tab is as follows

"\var\MailRoot\filters\copy.pl" "@@FILE"

Copy.pl is as follows
#!/usr/bin/perl
require MIME::Lite;

system('export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot');

$mess = $ARGV[0];
$tmess = $mess;
#$path_to_box ="/var/MailRoot/domains/synchronresearch.com/outgoing/Maildir/new";
$boss = 'outgoing@synchronresearch.com';
$action = 5;
open(FILE,$mess);
@mess = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

$mess = join('',@mess);
$mess = split(/<<MAIL-DATA>>\r\n/,$mess);
@mess = split('\n',$mess);
$cnt = scalar(@mess);
for ($i=0; $i<$cnt; $i++){
if (@mess[$i] =~ m/Subject/g){@mess[$i] =~ s/Subject\: /Subject\: \[copy\] /g;}
}

@tmess = split('/',$tmess);
$tcnt = scalar(@tmess);

#this will copy to local maildir
#open(FILE,">$path_to_box@tmess[$tcnt-1]");
#for ($i=0; $i<$cnt; $i++){
#print FILE "@mess[$i]\n";
#}
#close(FILE);

#this will send e-mail
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => 'synchronresearch.com',
To => $boss,
Subject => 'Copy',
Type => 'multipart/related');
$msg->attach(
Type => 'text/plain; charset=windows-1250',
Data => $mess);
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "127.0.0.1", Timeout=>60);

What could be the reason?

Regarsd,
Ahay Rathod.

- do you have a module MIME::Lite isntalled ?
- change
From => 'synchronresearch.com',
to
From => 'something@synchronresearch.com',

- what is not working?
- what errors?
- anything in the logs?
- run Xmail in debug mode to see what is going on

I am not getting the copy of outgoing messages in the mailbox of Outgoing@synchronresearch.com

Following is the ouput of logs

I am not getting the copy of outgoing messages with the configuration specified in Copy.pl file.

It says that domain synchronresearch.com does not exists. Looks like you have dns problem.
When I telnet to synchronresearch.com I get:

This is not Xmail server running but Exim. Port 25 blocked??

Port 25 is not blocked, it is open on my gateway for my internal mail server address which is 192.168.0.11. and what you are getting is you are getting from my main server which is hosted on 66.45.240.50. I want a copy of all the outgoing messages. The copy.pl file doesnt put the copy og outgoing messages in the mail directory of outgoing@synchronresearch.com. Mail server works fine , there is no any problem in that. What i did for a copy that i already mentioned.

Thanks for the support,
Ajay Rathod.

As in my prevous message: Xmail says that synchronresearch.com is an invalid address. So either it is or Xmail cannot resolve it correctly. If you have a local dns server or using ISP's dns server you can put all of them in the dnsroots file.

Sorry to say but what you are looking at is synchronreseach.com and not synchronresearch.com. My domain is synchronresearch.com. So there is no any problem of domain. That message shows the information about the bounced mail.

synchronreseach.com is from your logs:

And keep in mind that filters.out.tab will only work for remotely delivered mails. So if the mailser that is running this script, is also the mailserver for synchronresearch.com, then internal mails sent from one synchronresearch.com-address to an other synchronresearch.com-address won't be logged.

...but if this mailserver isn't the mailserver hosting mailboxes for synchronresearch.com, then keep in mind that your script will cause an endless loop since the mails you log, will also be logged, which will also be logged, which...

And for testing: get yourself a copy of a message from the server. I think this will do the trick:

and now call your script from the command line with the location of the file you just saved as a parameter... If anything is wrong in your script, then you should now get a nice error message telling you exactly what.

Here what we use for archiving all sent messages.

filters.in.tab

filters.out.tab

record-in.tab

record-out.tab

record.sh

This will create a storage structure like this.

Or as a real example of a message send to no_spam@nomadcf.com on 6/20/06 would look like this.

This is by no means an ideal archiving system but it's simple and works for single domain hosts. And it's easy to script web interfaces for so people can allow there users to restore or call up old emails (but not remove them form the archive).

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I followed all the information as mentioned above but still there is no single mail is /var/MailRoot/archive. Do i need to change anything in record.sh ?

Regards,
Ajay Rathod

is record.sh chown'ed so it's executable ?

have you tried running this by hand ?

example :

So don't forget those are TABs in those filter.*.tab files !

Hi,

I chown to root and chmod 777 for record.sh. I ran the script by hand but nothing is the output. And I already gave the TABs in filters.*.tab. What is the above code which you specified.

/var/MailRoot/filters/record.sh "TEST@remotedomain" "USER@LOCALDOMAIN" "FILE_TO_ARCHIVE_LOCATION" "IN"

Where do i need to put this lines?

Regards,
Ajay Rathod.

no where just try running it from the command line and see if it works.
(don't forget to replace FILE_TO_ARCHIVE_LOCATION with a real file and USER@LOCALDOMAIN with a real localuser and domain)

Hi,

Yes the script is working by hand but where are the mails? The structure of the folder is as follows:

/var/MailRoot/archive/IN/letter/username/year/month/date/
/var/MailRoot/archive/OUT/letter/username/year/month/date/

but there are no mails in this directory. Then where does the mails goes?

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay Rathod.

So your saying it did create the directory structure but didn't copy mail into it.

Is SELinux turned on,on your machine ?
Where there any errors when you tried running it by hand ?
are you able to copys files yuor self in any of the "created" directory structure ?
