Postfix - antispam and relay package

ics

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

marcelloc

@zlyzwy:

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

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

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

@miken32:

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.

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
message_size_limit = 15728640
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

marcelloc

On current config, sender restrictions are applied on sender_access

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
check_client_access pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_pcre,
check_client_access cidr:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_cidr,
reject_invalid_helo_hostname,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_multi_recipient_bounce,
check_sender_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/sender_access,
reject_spf_invalid_sender,
permit

expert_az

marcelloc i don't see in my main.cf sender_access ,any mistake in my config?

here is my cf.

Allow connections from specified local clients and rbl check everybody else if rbl check are set.

smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_pcre,
check_client_access cidr:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_cidr,
permit

Whitelisting: local clients may specify any destination domain.

#,
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination,
permit

postscreen_disable_vrfy_command = yes
postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable = yes
postscreen_non_smtp_command_action = enforce
postscreen_pipelining_enable = yes
postscreen_pipelining_action = enforce
postscreen_bare_newline_enable = yes
postscreen_bare_newline_action = enforce
postscreen_greet_action = enforce
postscreen_access_list = permit_mynetworks,

marcelloc

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

expert_az

i'm using Header verification in basic mode,

expert_az

marcelloc any way to change position of the lines ?

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,

check_client_access cidr:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_cidr,

reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_multi_recipient_bounce,
check_sender_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/sender_access,
reject_spf_invalid_sender,
permit

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
check_client_access pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_pcre,
check_client_access cidr:/usr/local/etc/postfix/cal_cidr,

reject_invalid_helo_hostname,

reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_multi_recipient_bounce,
reject_spf_invalid_sender,
permit

marcelloc

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.

marcelloc

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.

marcelloc,i'm going fetch recipients from zimbra ldap,but as described on web gui to enable ldap fetch p5-perl-ldap package must be installed.

I've never seen this error during package install.

check if pkg_info return two postfix installs or something.

EDIT:

Let me know if this feature works with zimbra ldap.
It's written for Active directory ldap search.

That's the corrupt info you see on pkg_add.

if you want to try, this is the cmd to force postfix package reinstall

pkg_add -rf http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/postfix-2.8.7%2c1.tbz
