<p>hapolicy - policy delegation high availability script</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<p><strong>hapolicy</strong> [OPTIONS] --service=SERVICE1 [--service=SERVICE2 ...]</p>
<pre>
Services:
-s, --service <name>=<address>:<port>[:<prio>:<weight>:<timeout>]</pre>
<pre>
Options:
-d, --default <action> returns <action> if no service was available (default: 'dunno')
-l, --logging log requests
-v, --verbose increase logging verbosity
-L, --stdout log to stdout, for debugging, do NOT use with postfix</pre>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="introduction">INTRODUCTION</a></h2>
<p><strong>hapolicy</strong> enables high availability, weighted loadbalancing and a fallback action for postfix policy delegation services. Invoked via postfix spawn it acts as a wrapper that queries
other policy servers via tcp connection. The order of the service queries can be influenced by assigning a specific priority and weight to each service. A service is considered 'failing',
if the connection is refused or the specified service timeout is reached. If all of the configured policy services were failing, <strong>hapolicy</strong> returns a default action (e.g. dunno) to postfix.</p>
<p>With version 1.00 <strong>hapolicy</strong> has less than 200 lines of perl code using only standard perl modules. It does not require any disk access nor configuration files and runs under an unpriviledged
user account. This should allow fast and reliable operation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="configuration">CONFIGURATION</a></h2>
<p>A service has the following attributes</p>
<pre>
"servicename" => {
ip => '127.0.0.1', # ip address
port => '10040', # tcp port
prio => '10', # optional, lower wins
weight => '1', # optional, for items with same prio (weighted round-robin), higher is better
timeout => '30', # optional, query timeout in seconds
},</pre>
<p>You may define multiple services at the command line. Which means that</p>
<pre>
hapolicy -s "grey1=10.0.0.1:10031:10" -s "grey2=10.0.0.2:10031:20"</pre>
<p>will always try first service <em>grey1</em> at ip 10.0.0.1 port 10031 and if that service is not available or
does not answer within the default of 30 seconds the next service <em>grey2</em> at ip 10.0.0.2 port 10031 will
be queried.</p>
<p>If you want to load balance connections you may define</p>
<pre>
hapolicy -s "polw1=10.0.0.1:12525:10:2" -s "polw2=10.0.0.2:12525:10:1"</pre>
<p>which queries service <em>polw1</em> at ip 10.0.0.1 twice as much as service <em>polw2</em> at ip 10.0.0.2. Note that this
setup also ensures high availability for both services. If <em>polw1</em> is not available or does not answer
within the default of 30 seconds <em>polw2</em> will be queried and vice versa. There is no reason to define a service twice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="integration">INTEGRATION</a></h2>
<p>Enter the following at the bottom of your postfix master.cf (usually located at /etc/postfix):</p>
<pre>
# service description, note the leading blanks at the second line
127.0.0.1:10060 inet n n n - 0 spawn
user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/hapolicy -l -s GREY1=10.0.0.1:10031:10 -s GREY2=10.0.0.2:10031:10</pre>
<p>save the file and open postfix main.cf. Modify it as follows:</p>
<pre>
127.0.0.1:10060_time_limit = 3600</pre>
<pre>
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
... other authed permits ...
reject_unauth_destination,
... other restrictions ...
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10060 # <- hapolicy query</pre>
<p>Now issue 'postfix reload' at the command line. Of course you can have more enhanced setups
using postfix restriction classes. Please see <a href="#links">LINKS</a> for further options.</p>
