Postfix - antispam and relay package

Bismarck

Postfix + MailScanner runs fine here, it just needs manual installation and even survived pfSense update from 2.3.2 –> 2.3.2-p1. :P

Would you please tell us how you installed them to pfSense 2.3.2?

The whole week I've been trying to compile and install the necessary (afaik) packages and I've failed in every possible way.

scroll down to Reply #709
/edit

the View config / Search mail / Queue / About / tabs are broken, everything else works great.

@Bismarck:

next get those postfix files from github for 2.3.

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/23/files

and copy them where they are belong

Can anybody tell how to do this? Get how and copy where?

Bismarck

MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU GO THIS ROUTE!

Those are the files needed, for the manual install of the Postfix Package for pfSense 2.3.x

**/usr/local/bin/adexport.pl

/usr/local/www/shortcuts/pkg_postfix.inc

/usr/local/www/postfix_view_config.php
/usr/local/www/postfix_about.php
/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/postfix.widget.php
/usr/local/www/postfix_queue.php
/usr/local/www/postfix_search.php
/usr/local/www/postfix_recipients.php
/usr/local/www/postfix.php

/usr/local/pkg/postfix_domains.xml
/usr/local/pkg/postfix_antispam.xml
/usr/local/pkg/postfix.inc
/usr/local/pkg/postfix_recipients.xml
/usr/local/pkg/postfix.xml
/usr/local/pkg/postfix_sync.xml
/usr/local/pkg/postfix_acl.xml

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh

/etc/inc/priv/postfix.priv.inc

/etc/inc/system.inc**

Download the attached pfSense-2.3-Postfix.zip, unzip and copy the files to your system root /.
Unlock the FreeBSD repo in

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf > enabled: yes

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf > enabled: yes

Install Postfix via pkg

pkg install postfix

Next edit:

/conf/config.xml

and add Postfix to the Service Status and Menu:

<service><name>postfix</name>
<rcfile>postfix.sh</rcfile>
<executable>master</executable></service>

**<menu>
<name>Postfix Forwarder</name>
<tooltiptext>Configure Postfix Forwarder</tooltiptext>
Services
<url>/pkg_edit.php?xml=postfix.xml&id=0</url>
</menu>

<menu>
<name>Search Mail</name>
<tooltiptext>Search postfix logs</tooltiptext>
Diagnostics
<url>/postfix_search.php</url>
</menu>

<menu>
<name>Postfix Queue</name>
<tooltiptext>check postfix queue</tooltiptext>
Status
<url>/postfix_queue.php</url>
</menu>**

Now cross your fingers and reboot! :P

Bismarck, you are my hero! And Marcello of course.
The installation is easy (for those knowing the howto) and everything seems to work like a charm.
I don't see any logs, though. Shouldn't there be a mail log in var/log ?

Bismarck

@Ralph-DE:

Did you enabled it in the Postfix General Settings > Logging > Destination > /var/log/maillog ?

And check /etc/syslog.conf there should be a line for it:

…
local7.* %/var/log/dhcpd.log
mail. /var/log/maillog*
.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;daemon.none;news.err;local0.none;local3.none;local4.none;local7.none;security.;auth.info;authpriv.info;daemon.info %/var/log/system.log
auth.info;authpriv.info |exec /usr/local/sbin/sshlockout_pf 15
*.emerg *
…

Otherwise, everything will be logged in the system.log facility, which can be very noisy. :P

Ralph-DE

Should it not be "%/var/log/maillog"?

mikle

@Ralph-DE:

Should it not be "%/var/log/maillog"?

My syslog.conf:

root@pfsense:/root# cat /etc/syslog.conf

-cut-
local4.* %/var/log/portalauth.log
local7.* %/var/log/dhcpd.log
mail.* /var/log/maillog
-cut-

It's without "%"

The following message comes repeatedly from the pfSense Crash Reporter:

[20-Oct-2016 14:30:00 Europe/Berlin] PHP Stack trace:

Is that something to be repaired or can I ignore this Messages?

Bismarck

Little Update…

postfix_about.php and postfix_view_config.php is working again.

But postfix_search.php and postfix_queue.php is still broken.

If someone have the skills to fix the javascript code, you are more then welcome! :P

Hi Bismarck,

I followed your guidance from #709 on the latest version of pfsense.

I wonder if the order of

<menu>and <service>in the config.xml does matter, because after the reboot I don't see the postfix-forwarder item in the menu.

You write to install postfix… but do we also need to install mailscanner?

Pls advice on how to get postfix forwarder working.

Kind regards,

Bob</service> </menu>

Bismarck

<menu>and <service>needs to be, where

<menu>and <service>items are in the config.xml, no special order just right section.

If you need MailScanner, you can install it but its not required to run Postfix, its just another layer for email security.</service> </menu></service> </menu>

Bismark, any hint to get mailscanner working as well?

thanks

Thanks a lot man!
I appreciate your time

ReisBey

it does not work for me. I have Provet so many times now I have abandoned.

Thansk :(

Bismarck

Sorry ReisBey, sadly there is no easy way to run Postfix on pfSense anymore. :'(

Hi! I don't see any logs too.

"Postfix General Settings > Logging > Destination > /var/log/maillog " enabled.

I create maillog file in Command Prompt (touch /var/log/maillog), and insert " mail.* /var/log/maillog " in syslog file and restart postfix.
But it did not solve my problem

Any ideas?

Sorry my fault, move system.inc from /etc/system.inc to /etc/inc/system.inc and reboot.
