      As far as I am aware the ACl Sender section is to stop senders/incoming email addresses not your own internal/smtp domain addresses from going outbound.

      Am not sure how you can block certain internal/smtp domain addresses.

      If you want to stop forged emails pretending to be from your domain and coming into your mail server you would use…....

      ACL Header:

      /^(From|Return-Path):.*@zimbra.mail.com/REJECT forged sender $1: header: $2 [SN001]

      ACL Helo:

      /^zimbra.mail.com/ REJECT [HELO01]
      /^127.0.0.1/ REJECT [HELO02]

      ACL Sender:
      zimbra.mail.com REJECT

        Your NAT is port forwarding traffic with a destination of "LAN net" it should be "WAN Address".

          Hi Tamldt,

          I don't use the Postfix forwarder package, but I do have a Zimbra Mail Server.

          In the screenshots you posted above (Domain Tab) there is a spelling mistake

          test.zibra.mail.com    looks like that should be    test.zimbra.mail.com

          Also, since you use Zimbra, you can do RBLs and Custom Header Rejections without the need for this package as Zimbra uses Postfix.

          Here are some links to review:

          http://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/8.0.3/administration_guide/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#href=8.0.3_Open_Source_admin.Anti-spam_Settings.html&single=true

              Hi

              Sorry, I don't understand why you would be trying to forward mail from the Internet that has been sent to the domain "test.zimbra(or zibra).mail.com"?  That is what your configuration says under Domains to Forward.

                  unsolved  :'(

                  My postfix forwarder only listen connect on port 25 but i think that it not establish with traffic mail go to port 25 so it cann't filter mail.

                  My log in var/log/maillog

                      Get rid of mailscanner/spamassassin to start.  Add back in once you have postfix working.  (You may find that you don't need anything more than postfix.)

                      You didn't follow the Quick Start Guide exactly because you had LAN Net as the listen interface.  Now that postfix is listening on WAN Address, you need to have a way for remote mail servers to connect and send mail from the Internet through your WAN interface.

                      Do you have a real domain?  Do you have a DNS MX record that points to your WAN Address?  Without those, it is going to be very difficult to help you.

                      Please do not post in two threads.  That doesn't encourage people to try and help you.
