      Ok, but is it possible to add the domains just like the valid recipients? e.g. a txt file from an external url?

      I think it's not a good idea as this setup may forward many open relay attempts to your internal server and it will not be able to test external ip as you  'proxied' connection with postifx ip.

        Sorry if this has been covered in the many pages before; I took a skim through and didn't find anything. I want to intercept all SMTP traffic (port 25) from the LAN side and redirect it to my own remote mail server, which requires SMTP authentication.

        So I guess two parts here; doing a redirect from the actual SMTP server to my local Postfix which is installed via this package, and then getting Postfix to talk to the remote server and send the mail on.

        I guess part one can be done with outbound NAT? For part two everything I see online for a relayhost with SMTP authentication requires additional files and encryption libraries. Is it possible with this package?

        Thanks a lot if anyone can help.

          Hi all,

          Postfix compilation on x64 now includes cyrus-SASL2 and TLS.

          who need or want to test it, reinstall or remove/install postfix package.

          No changes in gui for this option. Include all your SASL and/or TLS config in custom main.cf options

          att,
          Marcello Coutinho

          Hi marcelloc,

          First, thanks for your great work.

          Do you have any guide or sample what should I include in main.cf to support TLS?

          I am sorry I can't find any reference in these posts.

          Thanks!

            Hi all,

            All emails appears in status "hold" in the search mail option.
            Is it normal ?
            Yet I receive all emails…

            Does it mean that a copy of all emails is kept in postfix ?
            If yes, the disk might be full soon...

            In the "third party antispam settings" of postfix, the message hold mode is "auto mode".
            Is it a recommended configuration ?
            What the advantage of manual mode ? And what should we put in ACL headers in such a mode (I'm a newbie)?

            Thanks

              Paste postfix config for TLS on custom options at gui.

              As I did not implemented SASL/TLS yet, I don't know how to help you, but google does  ;)

                It should only happens when you have select mailscanner integration but did not configured,installed or started mailscanner daemon

                @ics:

                No, it means that messages will stay on disk until mailscanner finishes his job on these messages.

                I use manual mode as I can do some tests or choose the way I hold messages to mailscanner

                  Not implemented on this package. All features were included to act as an inbound smtp server to protect your exchange/internal server.

                    hello,

                    i entered some sender restritions like

                    ymail.com REJECT
                    dengediksiyon_seti@yahoo.com REJECT
                    best_tanitim_sektorel@rocketmail.com REJECT

                    in access lits>>sender  section of the postfix package.

                    But can't see these settings on main.cf ?any sync problem between this section of the postfix package and main.cf?

                    here is part of my main.cf

                    local_recipient_maps =
                    mydestination =
                    mynetworks_style = host

                    default_process_limit = 100
                    #Just reject after helo,sender,client,recipient tests
                    smtpd_delay_reject = yes

                    Don't talk to mail systems that don't know their own hostname.

                    smtpd_helo_required = yes
                    smtpd_helo_restrictions =

                    smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain,
                    permit

                          Did you checked antipam settings on postfix gui? Your config looks short

                                Yes, it could be done but don't you think it will reduce security if you config for example @hotmail.com on sender_access?

                                All forged emails from @hotmail.com will be accepted.

                                Maybe two fields, one to be on top, with no sender restrictions and another after header spam checks.

                                  I've pushed an update without version change putting sender_check above other tests.

                                  Postfix docs says:
                                  Be sure to specify check_sender_access and check_policy_service AFTER reject_unauth_destination or else your system could become an open mail relay., so I did configure reject_unauth_destination on top to prevent open relay configs.
