Postfix - antispam and relay package
-
Many thanks for the help Marcello, I managed to install it using the link you provided :)
I noticed I was getting errors due to already having a version of Perl installed - I'm guessing Open VMware tools installed perl-5.10.1_3.
Anyway, I wiped it and started again this time just pfSense and Postfix, p5-perl-ldap installed this time without errors.
However I noticed once I configured a domain on the Domains tab which should correspond with the LDAP server, postfix would accept emails to invalid users at that domain. This didn't change if I added or removed @domain.com from Custom Valid recipients on the Recipients tab.
Then I wiped it again and only installed pfSense and postfix and not p5-perl-ldap. Again once I've configured a domain, even without adding the domain to Custom Valid recipients, it accepts emails for any user at the configured domain. The relay_recipients file is empty.
Checking this with another other install, if I configure a domain on the Domains tab but don't enter the domain under Custom Valid recipients, there I get 550 5.1.1 anyuser@domain.com: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table.
The only difference I can think of is that the new installation is brand new installed today while the old one was installed a few months ago and only upgraded to latest version a few days ago.
Any ideas on where to look for problems would be very much appreciated./anyuser@domain.com

RobinGill,
check the difference from postfix config file from old verison to this latest version.
The Custom Valid recipients need an OK at end of email addresses.
What antispam settings did you selected on both installs?
This file should have all valid recipients fetched from ldap as well from custom field.
/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipientsrun /usr/local/bin/php -q /usr/local/www/postfix_recipients.php on console/ssh and check if there are running erros.

But when I connect from other webclient like http://www.mail2web.com I got the following logs:
This log means that you are using postscreen and he is doing his job, first connect of each ip after service start(on boot for example) will be rejected, next connections from this ip will be accepted.

May 21 13:00:33 pfsense postfix/smtpd[55803]: lost connection after AUTH from localhost[127.0.0.1]I did not included any authentication feature to this package yet. If you have this config on other server, just paste postfix authentication options on custom field at gui.

Marcello,
I am getting emails through my Internal Mail Server IP and unable to get those emails through external email server such as 94.55.59.130 or mail2.sesric.org. When I configure Outlook with local mail server ip with 10.10.1.5 it works but it doesn't worh with external ip. Thats the problem I am facing. I can only get email in office but unable to get them at home.

nahid,
This package is just a mail forwarder with antispam features, it will not replace your internal server, if you need external access to your internal server, use a nat rule for it on another ip/port and leave postfix filtering messages from internet to your internal server.

Marcello,
My problem is that I can access from Webclient like mail2web and send mail via my mailserver but unable to connect through mail my external outgoing mail server. Thats problem I am getting. My incoming and outgoing server is same. Thats why I cant change to access from external through another IP.
best regards

Create a nat from external port 587 redirecting it to your internal server. This way you can use auth to send email to your internal server.

This is the log when I choose my external mail server ip:

Marcello,
I will try with 587 port. But could you please look over the logs I posted. Even I want to send emails between my network it rejected as "Helo command rejected: Host not found; from= anhuda@sesric.orgto= networkadmin@sesric.orgproto=ESMTP helo=<abunaser>"
But my domain is sesric.org. Even I have passed my network by given 10.10.1.0/24 to my client access list. ıs there anything wrong with the config?

Marcello,
When I uncheck "Use SMTP Authentication" I get the following logs:

This is your error.
Change your client helo info to a valid dns name(internal or external).
If you want, you can disable the helo check on antispam settings too.(I do not recomend, but in some cases this is the easier way to workaround misconfigured servers)

Marcello,
As you recommend to use helo. In the doamin tab I wrote my domain name as "sesric.org" and the internal ip 10.10.1.5. My mail server is "mail2.sesric.org". So do I need to change my domain with mail server. Or how can I convert helo to a valid dns name with Internal / External mail server name.

No domain tab modification is required. Each smtp client has it's own config options. I have no idea how to fix the helo info on your client.

Marcello,
After inspecting Postfix configuration I added myhostname and smtpd_banner through which I solved the rDNS. Now I get the real mail server name when I connect through telnet over 25 port.
Actually here I think there is something unusual with my webclient as always it tries to connect through 127.0.0.1. Every time I tried to connect through webclient I inspect the logs of postfix shows that it tries to connect from 127.0.0.1. If I make a port forward on 25 where the source address would be the localhost(127.0.0.1) and forward them to Internal mail server (10.10.1.5) will it work?
What do you think? If I do so will cause any problem on postfix?

From yesterday I am getting the following error and unable to get emails.
(mail for [10.10.1.5] loops back to myself) It bounced the emails.
Need help.

Hi Marcello,
Many thanks for the information! I've managed to get LDAP working - problem turned out to be a space in a user name. Just thought I would also mention that once the import has worked, I can see all the entries in the GUI when looking at view config/relay_recipients.
Also after reinstalling yet again it seems to be working perfectly! Thanks again for the package :)

RobinGill,
all working now? I was trying to reproduce your no valid recipients check you've posted today.
The reinstall did the trick?att,
Marcello Coutinho
