(forw) Message distribution: Authorization denied
by Rick Moen 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

A few days ago, I said (here): Recently, someone subscribed each of the SVLUG mailing lists to a Sympa-software mailing list at a large mailing list site -- a rather bizarre thing to even attempt to do. I deferred action while wondering WTF someone was doing, then predictably the next time I posted to svlug(a)lists.svlug.org received an offlist notice that my 'posting' to the _other_ remote mailing list was being held for approval (because I wasn't subscribed to the remote Sympa list, only 'svlug(a)lists.svlug.org'). This clearly was not a tolerable situation, so I removed all of those subscriptions. My guess is either mischief or some bizarre variety of user mishap. Specifically, Sympa mailing list 'blocktogether(a)lists.riseup.net' got entered as a subscriber to each of the Mailman mailing lists at lists.svlug.org, a couple of weeks ago. Because I missed one when deleting those subscriptions, today I'm able to cite it as a specific example. (I just deleted that last one, too.) According to https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/blocktogether, it's no longer an active mailing list. The successor mailing list, https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/blocktogether-help, says 'Block Together' is 'a Twitter API tool to help cope with harassment and abuse on Twitter' -- basically a crowdsourced blocklist. Perhaps this was part of a low-level effort to monkeywrench Block Together by throwing other Internet traffic at it. I'm a little mystified that the unknown agent was able to successfully complete creation of those subscriptions, because of the three-way handshake process required to acknowledge that a subscriber address really wants to carry out that subscription. That is, the only people able to receive confirmation mail to 'blocktogether(a)lists.riseup.net' are listadmins of that mailing list, who'd see the confirmation mail in the held-messages queue. Strange. And I've seen some other signs lately that there may be holes in the three-way handshake process for some local LUG mailing lists. ----- Forwarded message from SYMPA <sympa(a)lists.riseup.net> ----- Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2017 13:02:10 +0000 From: SYMPA <sympa(a)lists.riseup.net> To: mailman-owner-owner(a)lists.svlug.org Subject: Message distribution: Authorization denied X-Mailer: Sympa 6.1.22 Your message for list 'blocktogether' (attached below) was rejected.

Ashley -- In as much as your posting was held for approval only because you are not subscribed to the balug-talk mailing list, the obvious solution would seem to be your subscribing.

Quoting Ashley Lynn Ireson (airley(a)email.arizona.edu): > Hello, > > I emailed Michael Paoli about where my message would be permitted and he > said that as long as it fit with the policy, balug-talk was the best > listserv. Since it is not a job posting, I believe it does comply with the > policies. Ashley, I discovered in Sept. 2016 that the listadmin password I have is no longer accepted, and brought that to the attention of the other BALUG admins. We have been trying to get control of that and other key parts of BALUG's operation from Michael Hubbard, who pays the bill, but have not yet gotten results. Therefore, I regret to say, I cannot take administrative action on your held post.

Two days ago, I wrote: > I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is still in the authoritative roster for > domain balug.org. > > I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is NOT any longer in the authoritative > roster for domain sf-lug.org. It was the other way around (sorry, edit error). ns1.linuxmafia.com is NOT in the authoritative roster for domain balug.org. Specifics were in the same message: > $ whois balug.org | grep '^Name Server' > Name Server: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM > Name Server: NS2.DREAMHOST.COM > Name Server: NS3.DREAMHOST.COM > $ whois sf-lug.org | grep '^Name Server' > Name Server: NS2.HE.NET > Name Server: NS3.HE.NET > Name Server: NS1.LINUXMAFIA.COM > Name Server: NS4.HE.NET > Name Server: NS.PRIMATE.NET > Name Server: NS5.HE.NET > $ whois sf-lug.com | grep '^Name Server' > Name Server: ns2.he.net > Name Server: ns3.he.net > Name Server: ns.primate.net > Name Server: ns4.he.net > Name Server: ns5.he.net > Name Server: ns1.linuxmafia.com > $ Which is still the case today. So, getting back to my point (now that I'm back from Kansas City): _Why_ should ns1.linuxmafia.com be doing secondary nameservice, given that you aren't including it in the authoritative list? That's kind of pointless. Please advise. Thanks.

AXFR failures from 198.144.194.238
by Rick Moen 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

(Greetings from MidAmeriCon II in Kansas City.) IP address 198.144.194.238 appears to be (or have been) the master nameserver for several domains... zone balug.org zone e.9.1.0.5.0.f.1.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa zone sf-lug.org ...for which ns1.linuxmafia.com has been doing slave nameservice at your request. Today, I notice I'm getting AXFR problems: Aug 22 11:15:19 linuxmafia named[11693]: zone balug.org/IN: refresh: retry limit for master 198.144.194.238#53 exceeded (source 0.0.0.0#0) Aug 22 11:15:19 linuxmafia named[11693]: zone balug.org/IN: Transfer started.

I notice that auth namservers for the three domains no longer include one that resolves to IP 198.144.194.238. I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is still in the authoritative roster for domain balug.org. I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is NOT any longer in the authoritative roster for domain sf-lug.org. Accordingly, I am switching off slave nameservice for the three cited domains at this time. Please advise if you'd like me to resume slave nameservice for any of them, and from what master nameserver IP for each.
