#!perl -w =head1 NAME greylisting - delay mail from unknown senders =head1 DESCRIPTION Plugin implementing the 'greylisting' algorithm proposed by Evan Harris in http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/ and defined in RFC 6647: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6647 Greylisting is a form of denysoft filter, where unrecognised new connections are temporarily denied for some initial period, to foil spammers using fire-and-forget spamware, http_proxies, etc. Greylisting tracks incoming connections using a triplet (see TRIPLET). It has configurable timeout periods (black/grey/white) to control whether connections are allowed, instead of using connection counts or rates. Automatic whitelisting is enabled for relayclients, whitelisted hosts, whitelisted senders, TLS connections, p0f matches, and geoip matches. =head1 TRIPLETS In greylisting, I, I, and I are referred to as the triplet that connections are deferred based on. This plugin allows tracking on any or all of the three, using only the IP address by default. A simple dbm database is used for tracking connections. How that works is best explained by example: A new connection arrives from the host shvj1.jpmchase.com. The sender is chase@alerts.chase.com and the recipient is londonwhale@example.com. This is the first connection for that triplet so the connection is deferred for I minutes. After the timeout elapses, shvj1.jpmchase.com retries and successfully delivers the mail. For the next I days, emails for that triplet are not delayed. The next day, shvj1.jpmchase.com tries to deliver a new email from alerts@alerts.chase.com to jdimon@example.com. Since this triplet is new, it will be delayed as our initial connection in the last scenario was. This delay could end up costing over US $4B. By default, this plugin does not enable the sender or recipient in the triplet. Once an email from a remote server has been delivered to anyone on our server, that remote server is whitelisted for any sender and any recipient. This is a policy that delays less mail and is less likely to impoverish your bank. =head1 CONFIG The following parameters can be passed to greylisting: =head2 remote_ip Include the remote ip in the connection triplet? Default: 1 =head2 sender Include the sender in the connection triplet? Default: 0. =head2 recipient Include the recipient in the connection triplet? Default: 0. =head2 deny_late Whether to defer denials during the 'mail' hook or later during 'data_post' e.g. to allow per-recipient logging. Default: 0. =head2 black_timeout The initial period during which we issue DENYSOFTs for connections from an unknown (or timed out) 'connection triplet'. Default: 50 minutes. =head2 white_timeout The period after which a known connection triplet will be considered stale, and we will issue DENYSOFTs again. New deliveries reset the timestamp on the address and renew this timeout. Default: 36 days. =head2 reject Whether to issue deferrals (DENYSOFT) for black connections. Having reject disabled is useful for seeding the database and testing without impacting deliveries. It is recommended to begin with I for a week or two before enabling I. Default: 1 =head2 db_dir Path to a directory in which the greylisting DB will be stored. This directory must be writable by the qpsmtpd user. By default, the first usable directory from the following list will be used: =over 4 =item /var/lib/qpsmtpd/greylisting =item I/var/db (where BINDIR is the location of the qpsmtpd binary) =item I/config =back =head2 per_recipient Flag to indicate whether to use per-recipient configs. =head2 nfslock Flag to indicate the database is stored on NFS. Uses File::NFSLock instead of flock. =head2 p0f Enable greylisting only when certain p0f criteria is met. The required argument is a comma delimited list of key/value pairs. The keys are the following p0f TCP fingerprint elements: genre, detail, uptime, link, and distance. To greylist emails from computers whose remote OS is windows: greylisting p0f genre,windows To greylist only windows computers on DSL links more than 3 network hops away: greylisting p0f genre,windows,link,dsl,distance,3 =head2 geoip Do not greylist connections that are in the comma separated list of countries. greylisting geoip US,UK Prior to adding GeoIP support, I greylisted all connections from windows computers. That deters the vast majority of spam connections, but it also delays legit mail from @msn, @live.com, and a small handful of other servers. Since adding geoip support, I haven't seen a single valid mail delivery delayed. =head2 loglevel Adjust the quantity of logging for this plugin. See docs/logging.pod =head1 CHANGES The per_recipient_db configuration option has been removed. It relied on a note that was not set anywhere in upstream QP. The latest version of this plugin that supported this configuration option can be found here: https://github.com/smtpd/qpsmtpd/blob/ea2f1e89dd6b72f1c06191425e2bd8d98bea2ac6/plugins/greylisting =head1 AUTHOR Written by Gavin Carr . 2007-01-22 - nfslock feature by JT Moree 2010-05-03 - p0f feature by Matt Simerson 2012-05 - geoip, loglevel, reject added.
