      If you like a can pack it all together for you?

      Sure. Is it something I can apply on mailscanner package installation?

        Sure why not. I'll make you a list of the things and files and where to get them.

          Hello marcelloc,

          thank you for your work and this package… Is there any documentation on how to enable postfix as smarthost and to relay via gmail smtp?

          I'm trying to configure it as the old package (in pfsense 2.2x) that was working as smarthost for the internal lan, with relay via my gmail account: the only instruction I've found are http://ghanima.net/doku.php?id=wiki:pfsense:postfixmailrelay but I can't make it work (different paths) and various errors in /var/log/system.log

              @pf-disa - you could try (untested but would make sense)

              cd /root
              
              fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/pkg-postfix/files/install_postfix_23.sh
              
              nano install_postfix_23.sh
              

              go down to line 81 and edit like this:

              Install postfix package

              pkg install postfix**-sasl** libspf2 opendkim libmilter py27-postfix-policyd-spf-python p5-perl-ldap

              and then

              sh ./install_postfix_23.sh
              

              to get rid of the compatibility warning add

              smtputf8_enable=yes
              compatibility_level=2
              

              to the custom main.cf options

              @marcelloc

              This package is getting in a really beautiful shape, its so sad that its not be in the official repo.  :'(

              Anyway excellent work!  :)

                I'll include the sasl option in the install. The idea of this package is to give sysadmins an excellent smtp layer 7 filtering /proxy.

                    The fatal maybe related to a restart call to a process that is not ruining.

                    Good to see that this package is useful for community.

                      I just update my install on 2.3.2-p1 with your new script without any problems ( with sasl changes from Bismark ).

                      Thank you all.

                          Noticed 3 little things,

                          1.  postfix_postwhite.template isn't copied to /usr/local/etc/postwhite.conf

                          		//save file
                          		$postwhite_domains = preg_replace("/\s+/"," ",$domains);
                          		include("/usr/local/pkg/postfix_postwhite.template");
                          		file_put_contents($postwhite_conf , POSTFIX_LOCALBASE . "/etc/postwhite.conf" , LOCK_EX);
                          

                          2. additional domains don't get added to postwhite.conf, maybe because of 1.

                          3. postwhite is looking for postwhite.conf in a different place anyway

                          # Read config file options
                          if [ -s /etc/postwhite.conf ] ; then
                          	printf "\nReading options from /etc/postwhite.conf...\n"
                          	source /etc/postwhite.conf
                          else
                          	printf "\nCan't find /etc/postwhite.conf. Exiting.\n\n"
                          	exit 1
                          fi
                          

                          and I had a cronjob for this every morning, cant see where postwhite is executed here?

                          Thanks. :)

                          /edit

                          We need policyd-spf_time_limit = 3600 in main.cf if SPF Lookup is enabled or we get a lot of those lines in maillog:

                            Great job! Package works fine.
                            Thank you very much guys!

                            I found a little mistake.
                            On "Access Lists" page, when i click on field "Sender" and "MIME" i'm redirected to http://www.postfix.org/pcre_table.5.html page  :)

                              Another bug ??

                              I found that widget is not displaying correct status.

                              I have configured postfix as backup relay MX2 on Site2 - it receive external mail from WAN if primary mail server MX1 on Site1 is unreachable and it store and forward all email by VPN Site - to - Site.
                              I also receive all emails from Site2 - from all LANs - and forward them to primary email server on Site1 by VPN Site - to - Site.

                              But until it receive a email from WAN ( Update Sqlite was on 1h and now is on 10 min), widget is not display anything for that day; emails from LAN are not showed;
                              As you can see it is missing day 10 and day 11 was displayed only if I blocked primary mail server to receive emails from WAN and email was delivered to MX2 and then forwarded to MX1…

                              p.s.
                              I just found also this one in log probably related to Postwhite:

                              postfix/postscreen[34560]: error: open /usr/local/etc/postfix/postscreen_spf_whitelist.cidr: No such file or directory

                                Because you need to run /usr/local/bin/postwhite manually first, can't find any code atm in the package, which would trigger it automatically.

                                Just running Postfix as a Mail Proxy and my widget stats are very accurate.
