ucspi-tcp6

September 3, 2023 by Roberto Puzzanghera 30 comments

ucspi-tcp6 is a fork of Bernsteins' ucspi-tcp 0.88 program, which includes, among the other things, ipv6 capabilities to the original ucspi-tcp. tcpserver and tcpclient are easy-to-use command-line tools for building TCP client-server applications.

Install ucspi-tcp6

TCP6_VER=1.12.4
cd /var/qmail/ 
wget https://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/ucspi-tcp6/ucspi-tcp6-${TCP6_VER}.tgz 
tar xzf ucspi-tcp6-${TCP6_VER}.tgz 
cd net/ucspi-tcp6/ucspi-tcp6-${TCP6_VER}/ 
./package/install

The tcpserver usage, as far as IPv4 is concerned, is similar to the original Bernstein's program.

libdnsresolv.so: cannot open shared object file

I'm following these steps in Slackware current but it stopped in chkshsg error:

./chkshsgr: error while loading shared libraries: libdnsresolv.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libdnsresolv.so: cannot open shared object file

libdnsresolv.so is inside /usr/local/qlibs. I added that dir in my /etc/ld.so.conf and runned "ldconfig". And the library was found.

I suppose that I have to adjust the fehqlibs installation path to avoid this error...

libdnsresolv.so: cannot open shared object file

uh... I get the same error with slackware current with latest fehqlibs... I have to investigate...

Is it support under Load blance

Sorry ,  is it support to get real IP under loadblance?

LB => mail server(ucspi-tcp6).

I think no, but you should ask to the author of the program

ucspi-ssl

How about installing ucspi-ssl? https://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/ucspi-ssl.html

ucspi-ssl

if I remember well (correct me if I am wrong) ucspi-ssl is needed to encrypt a connection on 465 port, but in my installation I already have the 587 port TLS secured (qmail-tls patch), so I think this is not needed here.

New version: 1.10.6

Update is needed. New version available: 1.10.6. It requires the installation of fehQlibs-12.

Thank you, I knew about this new feqlibs based version... is it working fine for you?

Hello ,

I have a problem with rblsmptd on Centos 7.2 and Centos 7.3. Perhaps this problem is related to ucspi-tcp6 with patch given above.

After starting /usr/local/bin/rblsmtp I got error:

kernel: rblsmtpd[27381]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000405fe8 sp 00007fff6a8fe698 error 4 in rblsmtpd[400000+a000]

..but wiith following installation everithing works fine:

cd /usr/local/src/
tar -xzvf ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz
cd ucspi-tcp-0.88
patch < /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.errno.patch
make
make setup check

I had this problem with  ucspi-tcp6-1.12.3.tgz. When I was executing tcprules:

tcprules: error while loading shared libraries: libqlibs.so

But with your solution with 0.88 version + patch now is working ok, thanks!

I tried both ucspi-tcp6-1.02.tgz and  ucspi-tcp6-1.04.tgz. After starting command from terminal I got this:

Segmentation fault

and in logs I had this:

Also, I am using Centos7 x86_64.

Thank you,

I don't think this is the proper way to test rblsmtpd from the command line, as it runs at least a prog. Take a look to the man page

did you define the GREETDELAY

did you define the GREETDELAY variable? This is important since you have the -W parameter and rblsmtps is looking for a non null value

Also consider that the reference page for rblsmtpd is changed like follows http://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/ucspi-tcp6/rblsmtpd.html (I'm going to correct mypage as well)

I removed -W  and output was

I removed -W  and output was the same. I also tried with GREETDELAY variable, but without success.

I think there is some problem with my OS distribution (Centos 7) and ucspi-tcp6, because when I run command from terminal with installed ucspi-tcp-0.88 I get following message: 

[root@mailsrv ucspi-tcp-88]# /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd
rblsmtpd: usage: rblsmtpd [ -b ] [ -R ] [ -t timeout ] [ -r base ] [ -a base ] smtpd [ arg ... ]

I also tried, qmail-rblcheck addon and it works fine, so I will switch to it until I find solution.

Thank you very much for your help,

Alex

I also get an error like that

I also get an error like that when running rblsmtpd from command line, but I think it can be normal, as some environment variables that the program is expecting are missing.

If you decide to switch to another RBL program, I suggest you to consider qmail-dnsbl (http://notes.sagredo.eu/node/162) as qmail-rblcheck's configuration that I present here is not fully tested (I played with it ages ago) and I guess it is not even maintained these days

Thank you very much, qmail

ucspi-tcp

Hi, I'm trying to secure as deeply as possible my centos 6.7 mailbox. I still have to compile the latest qmail patched version from Roberto, in the meanwhile I upgraded from ucspi-ssl-0.84 to ucspi-ssl-0.95b, in order to secure my sslserver-based submission services (465 / 587). Will let you know how it works; any other security hint is warmly welcome ;-)

maybe the library was written with 64 bit support in mind....

In 32bit system, you have to remove the flag "-m64"  in src/conf-ld.

Then try package/install again, and it will be ok.

I'm successfully compiling

I'm successfully compiling both on 64 and 32 bit.

In case you are not interested in the new IPv6 features of ucspi-tcp6, you can try to install the old bernstein's ucspi-tcp 0.88 program, following this page of my guide.
