Postfix - antispam and relay package

aslan1071

Quick question. I hope it has not been covered and I missed it I am sorry as am new to this tool. I have several Cpanel Boxes with several hundred domains on each that I would like to use this for. The Problem comes when I try to add more then 98 domains to the forwarding table it stops adding them. Is this a limit of postfix or pfSense? Please advise.

thanks

IIRC This limit is on package framework.

try this:

create a backup for phg_edit.php
edit it and change lines you find for($x=0; $x<99; $x++) to for($x=0; $x<999; $x++)

Aslan1071,

Are you adding all those entries manually?

With the postmap command you should be able add them from a text file to /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport.db

Thanks Guys… I will give this a try. I have tried both methods by had and from text file but it was cutting off the list at 98 no matter the input method.

I will let you know if this works.

thanks again.

Dear Marcello,

I have just installed PF 2.10 on new my box (2.0.3). But it seems not work with Active Directory ( I didn't see the adexport.pl file at /usr/local/etc/postfix).

Could you please show me how does it work with Active Directory to export recipients to the relay_recipients file?

Thank you and look forward to your reply.

marcelloc

adexport.pl stays on /usr/local/bin/ but you need first to install p5-perl-ldap package.

You can install it with pkg_add from my repo or from freebsd repo

amd64
pkg_add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/amd64/8/All/p5-perl-ldap-0.4300.tbz

i386
pkg_add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/8/All/p5-perl-ldap-0.4300.tbz

Thanks Marcello,

It works well now :)

Hi Marcelloc,

First thanks for your great job

I just want to ask you something, I have an issue in the configuration of the forwarding domains.
I have three domains to relay to my mailserver, but when I add them in the GUI, click save, it save only the last domain.
I tried to add them manually in the transport and main.cf file, but the change does not appear in the GUI

I have this issue in both i386/x64 release of pfsense 2.1
Postfix forwarder 2.10.0 pkg v.2.3.6

Do you have an idea ?

Regards
John

EDIT:
I found the problem is internet explorer.
Everything works with chrome, sorry for my mistake

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. :)

Thank you

Hi All and marcelloc,

It has been four months since i`m using this antispam and relay package.
And it still work very well.

Thank you pfSense and marcelloc for creating such a good system.

tips : keep the maillog file rotated

Any plans for some ipv6 support? also everytime I reboot I have to manually replace my master.cf config and restart the service…

I need postfix to listen on ipv6 so with no interfaces selected the within the web gui the /usr/pbi/postfix-i386/etc/postfix/master.cf ends up getting modified adding my wan ip info.

MY.WAN.IP:25 inet n - n - 1 postscreen

This means every reboot postfix starts up only listening to my a single address….

Im simply desiring the web gui to allow for one to select no interfaces allowing for the master.cf to contain the single smtp option.

smtp inet n - n - 1 postscreen

This would essentially allow for my other ipv6 config details to be configured within the web gui's custom main.cf options area….

I'll put it on my todo list.

marcelloc

Done! :)

Install/upgrade to 2.10.2 pkg v.2.3.7 postfix-forward package version.

Do not forget to revise config tabs after upgrade.

Hi Marcello,

Since updating to 2.10.2 pkg v.2.3.7 no mail relayed and seeing these messages in the log:

Dec  8 06:57:44 postfix/smtp[2973]: connect to 192.168.11.2[192.168.11.2]:25: Operation timed out
Dec  8 06:57:44 postfix/smtp[2973]: 7AC81B934: to=<me@my.domain>, relay=none, delay=1065, delays=1035/0.01/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 192.168.11.2[192.168.11.2]:25: Operation timed out)</me@my.domain>

Have restarted postfix many times and tried both "IPv4 only" and "all" options. Reinstalled, no change.

marcelloc

Can you post part of main.cf(interface section) and output of netstat -an | grep -i listen?

Pfsense 2.1?

biggsy

Thanks.

Yes, 2.1-RELEASE (amd64) built on Wed Sep 11 18:17:48 EDT 2013

Not sure what you mean by "interface section". Here is a sanitized version of main.cf:

I've been running WireShark on the mail server. As expected, no connections to port 25.

May not be relevant but I just found these in syslog:


Dec  8 06:57:15 postfix/master[12027]: warning: ignoring inet_protocols parameter value change
Dec  8 06:57:15 postfix/master[12027]: warning: old value: "all", new value: "ipv4"
Dec  8 06:57:15 postfix/master[12027]: warning: to change inet_protocols, stop and start Postfix

marcelloc

That's why I have changed field info warning to restart postfix daemon after changing inet protocol or ip.

Netstat and config shows it listening on public address.

That's why I thought it might not be relevant. I have restarted many times. Even rebooted pfSense.

@marcelloc:

Yes, postfix is receiving emails but can't forward them to the mail server, it's just queuing them. That was working perfectly prior to the update.

Did you notice the "relay=none" in the log record? Prior to the update it was "relay=192.168.11.2[192.168.11.2]:25"

The relay host is set in the GUI for both domains to 192.168.11.2 and I can telnet 192.168.11.2 25 from an ssh session to pfSense without any problem.

biggsy

Netstat and config shows it listening on public address.

Now I see what you were saying.

I changed it to listen on loopback (instead of WAN) and it started delivering both queued and new emails.

I remembered you saying "choose at least wan loopback interfaces" when the package was very new but I have had postfix only listen on WAN since I first installed it. That was the only way I could get it to work before this latest update. I honestly don't remember the error I used to get if I listened on loopback.

Why would it need both WAN and loopback?

marcelloc

I've moved listening options from master.cf to main.cf on this latest update.

I'll test it here and update interface field info to warn about this behavior.

Thanks for your feedback.
