authres missing when ran from spamass-milter
Hello,
I happily use spamass-milter to filter spam at SMTP time.
Prior to spamass-milter, I use pyspf-milter/opendkim/opendmarc milters to
mark if mail passes coresponding checks.
I also use authres plugin to use these results. However, it does not work
when receiving mail.
I tried debugging both spamass-milter and spamd, and I see that the headers
are indeed there:
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: authres: no Authentication-Results headers found from internal
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: [...] Authentication-Results: fantomas.fantomas.sk; dmarc=none (p=none dis=none) header.from=xxx.sk
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: [...]
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: [...] Authentication-Results: fantomas.fantomas.sk; arc=none smtp.remote-ip=192.0.2.1
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: [...]
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: [...] Authentication-Results: fantomas.fantomas.sk; spf=pass (sender SPF authorized) smtp.mailfrom=xxx.sk (client-ip=192.0.2.1; helo=smtp8.xxx.sk; envelope-from=yyy@xxx.sk; receiver=<UNKNOWN>)
Does anyone have an idea why spamd misses these?
when I pipe message to spamd manually, those headers are there and AUTHRES matches:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.9 required=5.0 tests=AUTHRES_SPF_PASS,BAYES_00,
DCC_CHECK,DMARC_MISSING,KAM_DMARC_STATUS,KAM_NUMSUBJECT,RDNS_NONE,

I'm not going to trust remote Authentication-Results: headers. Especially
not if they set contain my local hostname.

I understand, but I still think AuthRes can do this without a change in
the milter. Note the doc for authres_trusted_authserv:
> Use strongly recommended, possibly along with authres_networks all.
So, if you set:
authres_networks all
authres_trusted_authserv fantomas.fantomas.sk
then the relative position of ‘Received’ and ‘Authentication-Results’
headers shouldn’t matter. You just have strip out forged results in an
earlier milter. I’ll try it out some other time.

The synthetised Received: header is sent to spamd, it's not added to mail
itself (postfix adds it later).
And it's sent as first header, so spamd first sees Received: header
synthetised by spamass-milter and then headers added by other milters.

spamass-milter must first send (only) trusted Authentication-Results:
and then synthetised Received: headers.
I'm afraid that wouldn't be just few lines of code.

This is not an area I know anything about, so I may be completely wrong.
That said, I seem to remember a conversation very like this some years back.
If I remember correctly, someone found some switch that could be set to get
spamass-milter to add the Received header before calling the other milters.
Even if there isn't a switch, maybe it would only take a few lines of code
change in spamass-milter to put out the Received header earlier.

Headers are added by previous milter components.

This is what spamass-milter does. It does see headers added by former
milters, but not yet the Received: header added by local postfix, so it must
synthetize one.
this is documented and consistent with sendmail functionality:
http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html#when-inspect

THe problem is that while spamass-milter generates Received: header as the
first of headers, before Authentication-Results: added by other milters.
So, while spamassassin does see those headers, it does not trust them.
One possible fix is to add Received: headers AFTER locally added
Authentication-Results, which requires parsing those headers and only
trusting those that match local hostname (and hope they don't come fake)
Another possible fix is to add local Received: header by postfix and not
spamass-milter. This requires changing both postfix and spamass-milter.
This would otoh make those headers fully trusted, but incompatible with
sendmail.

tl;dr if those 'Authentication-Results: headers' are generated by the MTA itself
the milter may not ever see them.
Which agent in the whole MTA system is adding those 'Authentication-Results:
headers'?
Is it the master MTA itself (EG: postfix or sendmail) or is it some other milter
component?
A milter can only work with what it's handed by the master MTA, if the
Authentication-Results: headers aren't in its input stream then it cannot work
with them.
In the original sendmail incarnation of the milter API it was designed so that a
milter received the message input stream -before- local headers were added, thus
the need for spamassassin 'glue' milters to do that Received: header synthesis.
If those Authentication-Results: headers are being generated by another milter
then the solution is easy, just set the MTA configuration to run that milter
before the spamassassin 'glue' milter. Milter results are chained so any headers
explicitly added by one milter are passed on to succeeding milters.
If those headers are being generated by the MTA then it may not be possible for
milters to see them with out hacking the MTA itself.

milter adds own synthetised Received: header at the very beginning, which is
mosts possibly the correct reason.
spamass-milter should add this header behind locally added
Authentication-Results: headers, but it needs change in spamass-milter.

Have you tried setting:
authres_trusted_authserv fantomas.fantomas.sk
I think this should work without changing anything in the milter …

hmm, that may be that.
spamass-milter seems to put generated Received: header before Authentication-Results: added by other milters.
May 30 17:57:03 fantomas spamd[1101]: rules: ran header rule __DOS_RELAYED_EXT ======> got hit: "Received: from smtp8.xxx.sk (smtp8.xxx.sk [192.0.2.1]) by fantomas.fantomas.sk (Postfix 3.5.18/8.13.0) with SMTP id unknown Tue, 30 May 2>

that will need spamass-milter change.

Did you check if the ‘Authentication-Results’ headers are above the
‘Received’ header generated by the milter? Per your own observation in
an older thread:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/q1vvoqvfv3fxjhwjzbjztq1y85hyn3mk
(To be sure I’m not currently using AuthRes, so don’t know if relevant.)
