Topic: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 7.5
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL (MariaDB)
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?: Yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Hi Zhang,

The logs in iRedAdmin-Pro show entries like this for a domain admin:

2018-12-06 15:07:15     user@myserver.example.com     1.2.3.4     Add whitelists for @myserver.example.com: @.yahoo.com.

If I navigate (as postmaster user) to System -> Anti Spam -> Whitelists & Blacklists I do not see @.yahoo.com listed.

If I navigate to Domains and Accounts -> usersdomain.com -> White/Blacklist, all four boxes are empty.

If I log in as the user and navigate to Domains and Accounts -> usersdomain.com -> White/Blacklist, all four boxes are empty.

The user is complaining that he has whitelsited yahoo.com, but emails from yahoo.com addresses are still being caught in the quarantine.

Why is this?

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

I'm a little confused with your real email domain name and the log:

- The log shows whitelist was added for your local mail domain "@myserver.example.com". So this is a per-domain whitelist (for "@myserver.example.com").
- You mentioned domain name is "usersdomain.com", i suppose what you mean is "example.com" which is parent domain of "myserver.example.com"? If yes, then this is not matched.

What i want to know is:

- Show me the domain name in log in correct format (the @myserver.example.com).
- Show me the domain name you checked in iRedAdmin-Pro.
- How can i reproduce this issue step-by-step?

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

Hi Zhang,

Thanks for your reply, but I'm confused about why you're confused, as that's a copy and paste of the log from my installation of iRedAdmin-Pro, with my own server's domain anonymised. The user's domain does not appear anywhere in the log.

I create domain users on my server in the form of clientCode@subdomain.mydomain.com (user@myserver.example.com in my post). I know you recommend against it in iRedAdmin and iRedAdmin-Pro when creating a user, but that's how I choose to do it.

If you need to know exactly what my domain and sub-domain are, please email or PM me and I'll happily provide them.

This user tried to whitelist @.yahoo.com for his own domain, let's call it example.NET, not for the whole server. His domain does not show up in the log.

* I have copied and pasted the format exactly from iRedAdmin-Pro, but only changed my domain to maintain privacy. Since this isn't a networking question the actual domain shouldn't matter. The only domain that is real is @.yahoo.com
* I don't understand what you mean by "Show me the domain name you checked in iRedAdmin-Pro." Are you looking for a screen capture of something?
* I don't know how you can reproduce this, that's why I'm asking the question. However, I will ask the user to tell me exactly what he did to white- and blacklist these senders, but I suspect he did so from the drop-down list at the bottom of the quarantine page.

Thanks.


Craig

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

The user confirmed that he selected emails in the quarantine, chose one of the three whitelisting or one of the three blacklisting options in the drop-down list at the bottom of the quarantine page, then clicked the green "Apply" button.

Hope that helps.

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

Hi @craig,

It's totally fine to use 'example.com/net'  to replace real domain names in forum post (and it's recommended), what confused me is the inconsistent domain names.

- Which iRedAdmin-Pro release are you running?
- How can i reproduce this issue? Login as a normal user and blacklist some sender in the Quarantined Mails page? I need this to check whether it's a bug of iRedAdmin-Pro.

As a temporary solution, you can whitelist it for your user:

python /opt/iredapd/tools/wblist_admin.py --add --whitelist --account 'user@domain.com' '@.yahoo.com'

Thanks for your reply. I am running iRedAdmin-Pro 2.9.0 (MySQL).

Yes. I have also asked the user to try black- and whitelisting by entering domains and addresses manually at Domains and Accounts -> example.com -> White/Blacklist to see if that works.

Yes, I can also do it in iRedAdmin-Pro, as it seems to be working if I do it as the postmaster.

Thanks.


Craig

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

OK, now we just need a step-by-step instruction to reproduce this issue as a normal user.
I will wait for your reply.

Unfortunately, i can not reproduce this issue with iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.9.0 on CentOS 7.
I'm afraid that direct ssh access with root privilege is required for troubleshooting in this case.

Re: Black- and whitelisted senders missing

As this is another database-based issue, I'm again going to blame a step that was missed or performed wrongly in the manual upgrade process. I intend to address these lingering database issues by doing a manual migration in the next couple of months to a new, clean installation.
