Gwia testing

I'm doing some testing for migrating the rest of our gw7 system to oes
linux.
Have a fully functional gw system in my lab, including a gwia. Wanting
to make sure I can email both directions with it as I cannot seem to
telnet to it on port 25.
So, I set up my live gwia to allow relaying from my test gwia, and vice
versa.
I added entries in my live gwia's route.cfg for my test domain & gave
the address of my test gwia, and vice versa.
I can send email from my test system to my live, but it will not flow
from live to test.
Suggestions?

If you can't telnet to it, it can't accept mail. It's the same thing.

Obviously. I could have told you that after the telnet test. ;)

Well, as the GWIA apparently is running, set the log level to verbose,
restart it, then post the log.

  • Testing GWIA

    I have a test box that I am using to test Groupwise upgrades on. I have it setup identically to my production system except that it is not connected to my network or the Internet.
    On my production server, when I run "telnet localhost 25", it shows that I get connected. It responds with:
    Connected to locahost
    Escape character is '^]'
    220 mail.domain.com Groupwise Internet Agent 7.0.3.........
    On my test box, when I telnet localhost 25, all I get is:
    Connected to locahost
    Escape character is '^]'
    And that is it, it does not respond with a line that the GWIA is responding to this traffic. Is there something potentially with my GWIA setup that is causing this?

    There's an option in GWIA to hide the banner string. Did you enable
    this? Or, if this is Linux, is it possible something like Postfix
    instead of GWIA is responding?

    This is on SLES 10, and I disabled Postfix. I didn't know there was an option to hide the banner string.....where is that located at?

  • GWIA and API Gateway testing

    I've set up a system to do some testing. I have a GW8 Domain with a single PO and a GWIA. I also have a GW7 domain with a PO, GWIA, and the API gateway.
    My issue is I have the GWIA(s) set to db version 4.x to use the API Gateway. However when I send external messages I get the following format [email protected] With the server after the right of the @ these will all get an NDR from external systems. When the GWIA db version is set to 5 or better i get the format i would expect [email protected] However with 5 or better I can't use the API gateway for what i'm trying to use it for.
    Is there any way to change the format of the internet address to at least remove the server component after the @ with the db version at 4.x?

  • Can't create second GWIA in Groupwise 2014

    Upgraded from Groupwise 2012.0.3 to Groupwise 2014.0.1 Everything went fine with the upgrade process. The existing GWIA on our primary domain upgraded fine and is working with not problems. The problem comes in when trying to create a second GWIA in any domain, primary or secondary.
    I connect to the domain, go to Internet Agents, click new, fill out the info and after a few seconds I get "Internet Agent "GWIA" creation failed." Looking in the domain wpgate directory I can see that the gwia folder was created and the wpcin and wpcout folders where created and a couple of files under that but nothing else. The rest of the folder structure is not there, ie defer,dsnhold, gwhold...etc.
    I am pretty certain I am doing it correctly as I am able to create multiple GWIAs on my test server using the same process. It seems cut and dry. The only difference is that my live environment was upgraded from 2012 and my test server was a clean install of 2014.
    Anyone have any ideas what may be happening?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hi,
    Sorry, I don't have one of those lying around to test on
    If nobody else pops by with some bright suggestion shortly I would suggest that you open a Service Request with Novell Technical Support - depending on the urgency of your situation of course.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Cheers,

  • 450 host down on GWIA not always correct it seems

    Folks, every once in a while we get a 450 host down to a specific domain. I
    telnet that mail server and it does appear "down", does not respond on port
    25.
    However: They receiving domain insists they are not down and are receiving
    messages from other domains and in fact test as we are on the phone and what
    do you know they are receiving. So I run a test from mxtoolbox.com, and
    somehow, even though my telnets fail and our gwia 7.0.3 fails as well,
    mxtoolbox.com does not fail. The results from mxtoolbox.com are posted
    below.
    What is the deal? Why does telnet and GWIA both fail but not other mail
    gateways. Is there something lacking in the GWIA technology?

  • GWIA - "Will Not Relay" Message

    I have a GroupWise mail system set up with two mail servers:
    1 Windows Server 2003 SP1 - GFI MailEssentials, GFI MailSecurity, and
    GroupWise WebAccess front-end.
    1 Netware 6.5SP6 - GroupWise 7.1 GWIA, POA, MTA, and WebAcc / Document Agents.
    The way our system works is that mail is delivered to our ISP, and picked
    up by the GFI MailEssentials server. GFI MailSecurity scans the mail, and
    if all is good, forwards it to our GroupWise server. Our server is
    configured to only accept relaying through the IP address of the other mail
    server.
    Recently I was at the console and noticed that on the GWIA screen, there
    was the following:
    00:36:53 454 DMN: MSG 1854 Will not relay: [email protected] (219.91.104.28)
    Does this mean that a message from [email protected] was not able to be
    delivered to one of my users, or does it mean that someone from the outside
    is trying to relay that message through my server?
    This is the first time I have seen this message. I browsed the logs and it
    only showed up once.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    How would someone from the outside know I have a mail server? I have my
    firewall configured to block tcp and udp port scans. I ran a test and it
    showed to be "invisible" to the outside.
    Is there anything I should do?

  • GWIA Relay Issue, maybe the SPAMmers authenticated...

    So I was greeted with a lovely issue this morning that is really driving me nuts. My mail system was relaying messages from [email protected] using a valid user on my system (MFouch). The IP address that was sending the messages appears to be in Lagos, Nigeria (41.203.64.250). I have been combing my GWIA, MTA, and POA logs and I am not seeing any POP/IMAP/SMTP auth from that IP address. The valid local user that was being abused "C/S dos" login was getting logged but from GWIA's internal IP address. I attached a MIME copy of the message.
    My GWIA agent is setup to prevent relaying. I do allow relaying from some specifically defined internal addresses. I do allow POP3 in, but only specific users can use IMAP4 (silly Android issue). I require authentication for both POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP. I ran all of the different open relay tests that I am aware of (abuse.net, mxtoolbox.com) as well as tried to relay something via telnetting to my GWIA. I have attached my current GWIA flags as well. I just added /disallowauthrelay for now as a test/precaution.
    I found TID 7008712 that confused, upset, and scared me all at the same time (GroupWise Internet Agents are relaying emails when they're not suppose to be relaying.). If what this TID says is correct, how can I continue to use GroupWise?
    It looks like I have stopped the trouble for now. I added /disallowauthrelay as per TID7008712 (which will probably upset a few people). I renamed my gwac.db in case there was some corruption in my SMTP access control list. I changed the abused local user's password. I renamed all of my various GWIA directories (000.PRC, DEFER, GWHOLD, GWPROB, RECEIVE, RESULT, SEND, WPCSIN, and WPCSOUT) just to give me some time to clean out all of the deferrals, send items, and to be sure there is not a message queued somewhere. Members of my team are scanning the two machines this user uses as a precaution. I have also explicitly denied 41.203.64.250 access to my network at my perimeter.
    Has any of the great minds out there in the Novell Forum Land seen this before or can point out my buffoonery?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jeff

    Hi.
    I'm not quite sure where the uncertainty lies. The user yo uidentified
    with the logins from GWIA has been hacked, e.g his password probably was
    weak and brute forced, or gained by other means (has this user been in
    nigeria recently? ;))
    I also don't quite understand the outrage on the TID. It merely explains
    what is logical. If someone can authenticate, he can relay. There's
    nothing to be overly concerned about, except your password security. You
    may want to activate intruder detection... Of course there are other
    means to possibly gat to know a users password, but brute force is the
    usual way...

  • GWIA SMTP relay restriction doesn't work

    I am running GWIA on SLES 10 SP2 GW703HP4.
    I have the GWIA SMTP Relay Defaults=Prevent message relaying. Exceptions with allow from 192.168.10.3 to * as the 192.168.10.3 is the alert mail server. When I tried to test the SMTP port to GWIA, I got restrict relay error. If I change Relay Default to "Allow message relaying", that is the only time that I can connect from 192.168.10.3 to send SMTP mail via GWIA.
    I have tried to restarted GWIA everytime I make the change but can't get the exception to work?
    Any suggestion?
    Cheer
    Andy

    I deleted the IP address and added the same entry back, then GWIA relay fine.
    Might be I have bad eyes?? Thanks all for the inputs.

    Note there are two situations where you don't have to tinker with relaying exceptions at all:
    - the alert mail server sends to internal addresses only
    - the alert mail server can do SMTP authentication.

  • GWIA IMAP Client Limits?

    What is the max IMAP clients an admin should allow to hit a single GWIA
    gataway using default threads?
    I'm having serious abend issues and have narrowed it down to IMAP clients
    hitting my GWIA, I getting colored debugging screen on my Netware 6.5 server
    that I have never ever seen in 25+ years in working with Netware.
    I "guess" I'm going call Novell since the only way to keep my GWIA up is to
    disable IMAP but I'm not sure what's worse, talking to front line Novell
    support or listening to my user tomorrow morning complain that that their
    fancy dancy iPhones can't get email.

    Oh I was just grasping a straws, I have a ton of word of mouth iPhone users
    that they passed the email IMAP & SMTP addresses around and without having
    predefined limits on GWIA of who could or couldn't access it, suddenly I
    have several hundred IMAP users along with over hundred moblity users.
    I running test code from Novell to address the SOAP thread issues which
    seems to work, problem was in that first release of this test code, there
    appear to a GWIA IMAP bug, newest test code seems to fix the GWIA now, I'm
    running 3 days now without an crash and SOAP is behaving ok.

  • 2 gwia's 1 Post office

    Hello all:
    Our ISP, Verizon Business, can be unreliable at times. The T1 circuit seems to go down during heavy rain storms, before heavy rain storms, and once every 3 months.
    For fault tolerance, the plan is to add another gwia to our Post Office via another ISP . We are thinking that if the first line goes down, the MX record will point to the second gwia and we should be ok for email.
    We are still on GW7.03. Are there any hicups to note with this setup? Any pointers (other than moving to Unix or GW8) to offer?
    Thanks

    It depends... Is your current GWIA on "the inside" or directly connected to the internet?
    if you are NAT'ing an outside address from your providers to the GWIA, there is not a direct need to add a second GIWA. Just make sure the outside IP of you second internet connections has a NAT for the SMTP port pointing to your GIWA.
    Make sure they add the second ip record to the outside MX record of your mail exchange domain, and that should be set.
    You can setup your GWIA to smart relay to more than one address. Just add the two outgoing addresses (a space to separate them) on the GWIA's outbound host. That should let the GWIA use the first one until if fails and then fall back to using the second one. (As found here : Novell Documentation)
    One thing to watch could be the outside IP on your second internet line and if it matches the FQDN name your GWIA is reporting. If those two don't match up according to the internet DNS records, your mail might be dropped as it is seen as possible spam attempt. So I'd advise to give the failover a good test before counting on it fully working when needed.
    Cheers,
    Willem

  • Gwia mx issues on win2008r2

    We normally run with GWIA sending outbound mail to the ISP's relay host. This works ok. We are planning to change to a different ISP who do not provide a relay host (they say it is no longer standard practice and we should send direct to recipient). I tested by deleting the relay host setting from GWIA in C1 and mail stops being sent (piles up in DEFER).
    Our setup is 8.0.2 hp3 on Win2008r2. Single server with POA/MTA/GWIA.
    Logs look like this:
    21:36:18 DB4 DMN: MSG 88302 Sending file: D:\domain\wpgate\GWIA\send\pee51b21.001
    21:36:18 DB4 DMN: MSG 88302 No MX records found
    21:36:18 DB4 DMN: MSG 88302 Attempting to connect to xxxx.co.uk
    21:36:24 DB4 DMN: MSG 88302 xxxx.co.uk connection failure (8908)
    21:36:24 DB4 DMN: MSG 88302 Send Failure: 450 Host down (xxxx.co.uk)
    21:36:33 E5C MSG 88302 Analyzing result file: D:\domain\wpgate\GWIA\result\ree51b21.001
    21:36:33 E5C MSG 88302 Detected error on SMTP command
    21:36:33 E5C MSG 88302 Command: xxxx.co.uk
    21:36:33 E5C MSG 88302 Response: 450 Host down (xxxx.co.uk)
    21:36:33 E5C MSG 88302 Deferring message: D:\domain\wpgate\GWIA\defer\see51b21.001
    This problem occurs on all outbound destinations when sending direct (and not at all when using relay host). I have confirmed that the destination domains have mx records and that the server can ping them by name and number. I have confirmed I can ping local DNS (another W2008r2/AD), I ave also confirmed I can telnet to the destination server refered to in the mx records at port 25 and run a manual SMTP session.
    So this is not local DNS, not remote MX record configuration, and not firewall blocking SMTP outbound to those destinations.
    I have also tried TID7008142 and 7005218.

    Did you restart the server after this? I've seen a restart fix the issue after
    making the TID 7005218 settings.

  • GWIA move to Windows

    I have GWIA v. 8.0.2 on Netware and I need to move it to a Windows Server 2008 R2 where I have already migrated the domain and post office. I expect that I will just install the GWIA fresh on Windows, but I do not want to lose any of the existing settings. If I use a different object name for the gateway than the one installed on NetWare, copy the gwac.db over from the NetWare server, work through all the settings on the old gateway and make sure they are duplicated on the new one, then I should be able to delete the old gateway and everything should be fine, right?
    Also, in testing, I have had credential issues when running setup to install the gwia on Server 2008 R2. Is something like this caused by not having the schema extended for GWIA in version 8? Someone suggested I could run the 7.0.3 version of the GWIA install.exe, but that works only 50% of the time. Since I have upgraded all components to version 8 on NetWare prior to this migration I am hoping that eliminates the issue. If anyone has seen this error I would appreciate your thoughts.

    Basically yes, *unless* you have gateway aliases in place.

  • GWIA 8.0.2 HP2 BAD MESSAGEs

    Hi all.
    I receive BAD MESSAGE mails from my GWIA several times a week. Many are from users using Spanish accents in the subject of mails sent with Outlook 2010, some of them come from monitoring appliances, some from outside my company. It happened when we had Groupwise 7.0.3 and I had the hope it would be resolved in the latest Groupwise release. Now we have version 8.0.2 HP2 on OES2 SLES10 SP3 x64 machines, but GWIA continues refusing them.
    As a continuation of the work I did in another post, I will report here the cases I find and I can resolve manually. If anyone reading this has any answer or suggestion to solve this (I don't want to continue processing manually every BAD MESSAGE we receive), I would be very thankful.
    So, let's go with the first one. It comes from a monitoring camera and a "Invalid minimum string length (AA02)" is reported in the GWIA log. Headers are:
    <IaHead>
    <IaMsgTag>000b7bdc</IaMsgTag>

    I've tested removing the externalprovider address both from RCPT TO: (the whole line) and from the To: line and GWIA accepted it. In another message, I removed the local destinations leaving only the externalprovider one and it also worked. I don't have any more messages to test with, right now, but I will do more testing just to see what happens.
    Thanks in advance.

    They are. In fact ANY ACCENTS in the headers are ILLEGAL (and the thread
    I gave you is a kludge around it) without RFC 2047 encoding.
    However, your example is NOT encoded properly and SHOULD be rejected.
    Preferably by launching a denial of service attack on the sender, but
    alternatively by bitbucketing it :)
    The format of an RFC 2047 atom is simple
    =?<charset>?<encoding type>?<encoded text>?=
    which in broad strokes matches your input here. The Q means use quoted
    printable, eg hex value encoding for "high bytes". (The other legal
    value is B for base64 encoding).
    However your example CLAIMS UTF-8 character set. Fine, a perfectly legal
    character set, and in fact the one everyone should pretty much use in
    modern days. BUT....
    This Cannot be a legal UTF-8 encoded atom- all non US-ASCII characters
    are at least two bytes long in UTF-8.(all US-ASCII < 127 is simply byte
    for byte, beyond that you use a scheme that involves multiple bytes >
    $80. Since this has only one byte > $80, it's illegal).
    (In general with UTF-8 you can always recognize bad encoding if you see
    only one single high byte. There should be two to four in a sequence
    whenever it occurs)
    This looks like it might be an ISO-8859-1 encoded subject (since
    those are single byte code pages) but the generating mailer is claiming
    UTF-8. GWIA is thus 100% correct in rejecting this mail, as best
    security practices discard malformed UTF-8 items.
    The sender must fix his encoding or his encoding declaration.

  • Unit Testing, Null, and Warnings

    I have a Unit Test that includes the following lines:
    Dim nullarray As Integer()()
    Assert.AreEqual(nullarray.ToString(False), "Nothing")
    The variable "nullarray" will obviously be null when ToString is called (ToString is an extension method, which is the one I am testing). This is by design, because the purpose of this specific unit test is to make sure that my ToString extension
    method handles null values the way I expect. The test runs fine, but Visual Studio 2013 gives includes the following warning:
    Variable 'nullarray' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
    This warning is to be expected, and I don't want to stop Visual Studio 2013 from showing this warning or any other warnings, just this specific case (and several others that involve similar scenarios). Is there any way to mark a line or segment
    of code so that it is not checked for warnings? Otherwise, I will end up with lots of warnings for things that I am perfectly aware of and don't plan on changing.
    Nathan Sokalski [email protected] http://www.nathansokalski.com/

    Hi Nathan Sokalski,
    Variable 'nullarray' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
    Whether the warning above was thrown when you built the test project but the test run successfully? I assume Yes.
    Is there any way to mark a line or segment of code so that it is not checked for warnings?
    There is no built-in way to make some code snippet or a code line not be checked during compiling, but we can configure some specific warnings not to be warned during compiling in Visual Basic through project Properties->Compile
    tab->warning configurations box.
    For detailed information, please see: Configuring Warnings in Visual Basic
    Another way is to correct your code logic and make sure the code will not generate warning at runtime.
    If I misunderstood you, please tell us what code you want it not to be checked for warnings with a sample so that we can further look at your issue.
