problems with dkim-milter and mailscanner/postfix

[Paul Hutchings]

Ok some of the terminology is being lost on me here.

The Howtoforge instructions are totally straightforward for me to
follow, I suspect whatever is happening relates to either MailScanner
(full body edits?) or the version of Postfix.

I don't do anything especially complex with Postfix so I could use one
of Simon Mudds RPMs to get up to the latest version (assuming he's still
churning them out).

I also noticed in the logs errors such as:

902141FCDE SSL error:04067069:rsa routines:RSA_EAY_PUBLIC_DECRYPT:pkcs1
padding too short

Which mean nothing to me.

Frankly this seems a nightmare :-)

A bit more sophisticated than that:-). There is the code, and some
fairly extensive comments in there, so it is far from pure
guessing/reverse engineering. There is an element of that too, but ...
:-).

Exactly what have you been looking at? The file "on hold" will not
change, since we build a completely new one from scratch. I haven't
looked at how the start record is generated (or if it simply is
"transported" lately, so don't remeber thsoe details... But I do have
some faint recollections that that should be recalculated as the queue
file is written...

What are you on about? What perl module and where? What version of
MailScanner?
MailScanner uses two perl modules to read the message: Postfix.pm (the
ReadQf sub) and PFDiskStore.pm (the Body class). It reads all the
records comprising the queue file into the message object, doing any
adjustments needed, and later on write out a completely new file. So
unless you "catch" that new file, you don't know how it has been
rewritten/mangled;-).

Now, the problem Paul likely had was due to a bug in the Body class...
That was fixed in stable release 4.68.8. If you run anything prior to
that ... you shouldn't try using milters;-).

If it is PF2.3.x, full body edits aren't possible.
