      Hi,

      maybe I found the solution: The LDAP query is nicely wrapped in the /usr/local/bin/adexport.pl, so no recompile neccessary. I did the following modification:

      
      56c56
      < our $filter  = '(|(objectClass=publicFolder)(&(sAMAccountName=*)(mail=*)))';
      ---
      > our $filter  = '(&(uid=*)(mail=*))';
      
      

      It seems to work and only lists userIds with valid email addresses. The technical users like spam and ham do not get selected and are not forwarded.

      Does it make sense to use the filter value a Perl script parameter and make it selectable from a drop down box for Exchange and Zimbra (and potentially further mail server types)?

      Greetings,
      Burkhard

        ok, was a bit more complicated:

        
        56c56
        < our $filter  = '(|(objectClass=publicFolder)(&(sAMAccountName=*)(mail=*)))';
        ---
        > our $filter  = '(&(uid=*)(mail=*))';
        92c92
        <              attrs    => [ "proxyAddresses" ],
        ---
        >              attrs    => [ "mail" ],
        163,164c163,164
        <   my @mails = grep { /^smtp:/i && !$gSeen{$_}++ }
        <                    $data->get_value( "proxyAddresses" );
        ---
        >   my @mails = grep { !$gSeen{$_}++ }
        >                    $data->get_value( "mail" );
        168c168
        <     print map { s/^smtp:(.+)$/\L$1\n/i; $_ } @mails;
        ---
        >     print map { s/^(.+)$/\L$1\n/i; $_ } @mails;
        
        

        I did not recognize the problem that the recipient list remained empty because all mails got forwarded to the mail server then anyhow…

        Greetings,
        Burkhard

          I successfully upgraded to postfix v2.10  :)
          I've noticed that with this new postfix package, the file /var/log/maillog is not deleted anymore after a reboot.

          Does it mean that now there is a kind of logrotate configured for this file ? If yes how is it configured ?

          This file is 238MB and keep growing…

            No log rotate yet.

                Did you tried stopping postfix process and removing current /var/db file to start a new one?

                      I need to configure PostFix to accept mail from a specific IP address even though that address is both blacklisted and is presenting a non-existent host name during HELO.

                      I have tried placing entries like this:
                      123.231.132.213 OK
                      in the "helo" section of the "Access Lists" tab, and also added them to /usr/local/etc/postfix/helo_check
                      but I am still getting the following reject message in the logs:
                      RCPT from unknown[123.231.132.213]: 550 5.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [123.231.132.213]

                      Could anyone advise me on the correct way to configure PostFix so that it will bypass the helo and RBL checks for specific IP addresses?

                      Thanks.

                        Hi guys! Sorry for my bad English. I found an interesting bug. The package is sensitive to the hostname. If you do not correct the host name does not occur the record in db file. Example: mail1.example.com working, mail-1.example.com not working. All the matter in the function function_grep_log in file /usr/local/www/postfix.php . Please note this bug in the next update. Thank you.  :)

                          Hi All,

                          Im new in this forum. Im just installing pfSense with Postfix and Mailscanner package as SMTP relay for our Exchange 2003 server.
                          It work very well. Postscreen and RBL checks are the day saver.  :)

                          One thing i want to ask, is it possible to block certain email  address from my trusted (mynetworks) SMTP client ?

                          I had put the email address in the Access List –> Sender, but it doestnt have any effect. I think it is because the order in the **_smtpd_client_restrictions_** and _**smtpd_recipient_restrictions**_ started by **_permit_mynetworks_** and followed by other rules. So if the first rule is passed, it wont check the following rules.
                          Also im trying to change the order from the shell, but when im reload the Postfix from the GUI the main.cf back to default order.

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

                          Thank you

                            Hi expert_az,

                            I think you have configured the Postfix to listen on multiple interfaces.
                            You can workaround this issue by listening postfix on localhost only and then nat external ips to 127.0.0.1. (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,46334.msg242753.html#msg242753)

                                  Hi all,

                                  I seem to having a little issue with the widget for this package.

                                  Emails are flowing in and out fine but the widget does not show the number of emials which have been rejected etc.

                                  The only disply the widget shows is the number of "Sent" emails which are emails that have passed through successfully and allowed into my exchange server.

                                  I am not using the additional mailscanner and I am running pfsense 2.0.3 i386 and postfix forwarder 2.10.0 pkg v.2.3.5

                                  Any ideas or tweaks I need to make?

                                  Thanks and cheers all.

                                      you can add that IP to mynetworks but it would be far better to email the owner of 123.231.132.213 and ask him to fix his DNS entries so that IP address resolves to the host name sent in the HELO/EHLO command.

                                        Hi

                                        My postfix db /var/db/postfix takes a huge space. I would like to purge postfix sqlite files.
                                        Can I just remove old files ?

                                            I don't know the database_name…
                                            FYI, the folder contents many files [date].db

                                            Also, as I understand, this command will reclaim space in the database This will not remove data.
                                            I want to delete old entries.
                                            As it is split in multiple files, would it be possible to keep some of the latest .db files and delete the oldest ones ?
