Resolved Mail-Handler - Called twice, why?

L

Basic Pleskian
Hey there,
as I do develope an Mail-Handler I wondered why it is executed twice per Mail.
I think I got the reason and now I wonder even more.

Theese are my Mail-Handlers:

Code: 
root@v22016081573736335:~# plesk sbin mail_handlers_control --list
.---.---.-------.--------------------------------------.-----------------.------------------.-----------------.

|---|---|-------|--------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|
|   |   |    10 |                                  all |             spf |           global |    before-queue |
| X | X |    50 |                                  all |      LWAutomail |           global |    before-local |
| X | X |    50 |                                  all |      LWAutomail |           global | before-sendmail |
| X | X |    50 |                                  all |      LWAutomail |           global |   before-remote |
| X |   |    10 |                       all-recipients |     check-quota |           global |    before-queue |
| X |   |    10 |                       all-recipients |     check-quota |           global | before-sendmail |
'---'---'-------'--------------------------------------'-----------------'------------------'-----------------'

As you can see I hook up "before-local", "before-sendmail" and "before-remote". I think my Mailhandler to executed twice because of "before-local" and "before-sendmail". I wanted to clarify that and read the docs, but I can't find information about "before-sendmail". I decided to hoock that queue because of "check-quota" also does that.

Here the link to the official Hooking Points: http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/extensions-guide/mail-handlers/hooking-points.71845/

No description about "before-sendmail".

Heres an Mail-Log snippet

As you can see my Handler "LWAutomail" seems to be called twice as of "LWAutomail PASS" appears twice. Once in the middle via "psa-pc-remote" and once via "postfix-local"...
 
OK I now just hooked up "before-local" and "before-remote" and added a context ("incomming" for "before-local" and "outgoing" for "before-remote"), but it still got called twice:

Did you notice the "context"? Seems that for incomming mails both handleres "before-local" and "before-remote" are called... why?
 
Here's some info on the mail handler queues in Plesk. Note that the information below is actual for Plesk Onyx, although it is also mostly applicable to previous Plesk versions (with some small differences).

The following queues are available:
  1. before-data (0) — handlers are called before DATA in SMTP session is available (obviously, this triggers only within SMTP session);
    1. on QMail invoked from qmail-queue (no real difference from before-queue except these handlers are executed before before-queue ones);
    2. on Postfix invoked from Plesk milter (which is registered in Postfix as smtpd_milters, service name is pc-remote);
  2. before-queue (1) — handlers are called after DATA is available and before mail gets into mail queue (also SMTP session only);
    1. on QMail invoked from qmail-queue;
    2. on Postfix invoked from the Plesk milter;
  3. before-remote (3) — handlers are called before mail leaves this server (though they may be called in other cases as well), triggered for mail sent both via SMTP and sendmail;
    1. on QMail invoked from qmail-remote;
    2. on Postfix this is effectively equivalent to placing a handler both into before-queue and before-sendmail (except these handlers will be executed after handlers in both of these queues);
  4. before-sendmail (4) — handlers are called before mail is actually passed to sendmail (triggers only for mail sent via the sendmail utility);
    1. regardless of MTA handlers are invoked from Plesk sendmail wrapper which is actually called when the sendmail utility is used;
  5. before-local (2) — handlers are called before mail is delivered locally;
    1. on QMail invoked from qmail-local;
    2. on Postfix invoked from virtual_transport (called plesk_virtual, which calls postfix-local Plesk utility).
I think this should be enough to understand the behavior you're getting. Basically in your case, before-remote is called when mail gets into queue, before-local is called before mail is delivered.
 
Thanks for the information. This is what I feared above. As of "before-local" has a usefull amount of more detailed data, I wanted to just react in before-local, or on incomming mails, just in before-remote. Currently I dont see any possibility to act this way!?

Could you please describe your use case in more detail? When do you want your handler to be invoked and what should it do?
 
The general Idea is simple: POST some data to an URL on incoming and outgoing mails.

One of the POST-fields is "context" wich I set on registering mail handlers:
Code: 
root@v22016081573736335:~# plesk sbin mail_handlers_control --list

The "problem" is, that my Handler is called twice while an mail is incomming but just once on outgoing mails.
The handler should be called once per incomming and once per outgoing mail.
 
It would be really nice if I could finish my implementation. Some help from Plesk team would be great.
 
You may use DKIM as a reference implementation. For example:

Code: 
root@a10-52-38-93:~# plesk sbin mail_handlers_control --list
.---.---.-------.--------------------------------------.-----------------.------------------.-----------------.
| E | P | prior |               address                |       name      |       type       |      queue      |
|---|---|-------|--------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|
| X |   |    10 |                                  all | dd52-domainkeys |           global |    before-local |
| X |   |    10 |       test1.a10-52-38-93.qa.plesk.ru | dd51-domainkeys |    sender-domain |   before-remote |
'---'---'-------'--------------------------------------'-----------------'------------------'-----------------'

Again, the exact configuration highly depends on your needs. Please carefully read my first reply for details. Also don't be afraid to experiment to achieve the needed result.

In your example mail handler was called twice for incoming mail because on Postfix before-remote is equivalent to before-queue (and therefore is also called for incoming mails, unless something else like the handler type and address field filter the handler out; in your case type is global and address is all, which means handler is called for any mail passing through). Mail handlers from the before-local queue are only called just before mail delivery (so they trigger only for incoming mail).
 
OK as of it looks that there is no way to manage just incoming or (explicit or) outgoing mails, I used an host-lookup on the senders domain to figure out if its in the local configured ips and I decide that way if I do the extensions work on before-remote or before-local.
