Server :: Rejecting Mail Where Sender Matches Recipient In Postfix?

Aug 22, 2009

This seems like a relatively simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation after a couple of hours of searching. I'm running postfix on my mail server, and the vast majority of my spam has the sender address spoofed to match the recipient address. I've got spamassassin up and running, and very little gets through that, so it's not a serious problem, but if possible I would like to be able to reject the mail before it arrives to reduce the system load.

Mail is sent locally via webmail, relaying is denied, so the only way that mail should be sent from the domain is via a connection from localhost. The basic idea I'm thinking of is if the MAIL FROM sender claims to be an address at the receiving domain, but is connected from a remote IP, the mail should be rejected.

Server :: Postfix 2.6.5 Rejecting Email To All Recipients If One Recipient Is Bad?

Oct 6, 2010

I have an ubuntu server running postfix 2.6.5 (configured using DTC). If a user tries to send an email to more than one recipient, and one recipient address is bad, then the server returns an error and no mail is sent (even to the good addresses), rather than letting the good ones through. Error displayed by thunderbird is

Code:

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 [URL]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table. Please check the message recipient noreply@domain.com.au and try again." and mail.log shows ...

Code:

Oct 6 20:35:08 www1 postfix/smtpd[22716]: connect from xxxxxx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

Software :: Postfix And Spamassassin - Filtering Out Sender = Recipient?

Feb 22, 2010

block incoming email within either postfix or spamassassin when the sender equals the recipient. The manner in which our mail infrastructure is set up would preclude this from happening. Granted, we do have outside vendors that spoof our domain so we have to allow emails in with our domain as the sender/from. The vendors do not, however, utilize the same sender/recipient when sending emails.

Software :: Postfix: Redirect Email Based On Sender And Recipient?

Jul 8, 2011

I'm looking for a way to redirect e-mail with postfix based on sender AND recipient. What I want: Let's say I have 3 users:

[code]....

and an external address, let`s call it [URL] sends e-mails every day to andy, mark and john Now, MARK and JOHN, need the e-mail sent by [URL], but TOM doesn't need it. Is there a way to redirect ONLY the e-mail sent to TOM from [URL], to some other address, let`s say [URL] without affecting the e-mail received by MARK and JOHN? Unfortunately using SENDER ACCESS redirects ALL e-mail from [URL]

I have this strange error - I switched from postfix 2.6.5 to 2.8.2 and I some mailservers cannot send mail to me. One of them was some sendmail server. I have virtual alias maps in mysql. It works fine for almost all server that are sending mail to me, but some of them seems to send mails as user@FQDN instead of user@virtualdomain my machine name is x49.tvujweb.cz, and mz email is kamil.horky@servis-it.net but in server logs is that user kamil.horky@x49.tvujweb.cz cannot be found in virtual alias maps.

here is my postconf:

Server :: Postfix Filter Outgoing Mail By Sender Domain ?

Jun 17, 2010

Im trying to get postfix to filter my outgoing mail and basically drop everything that is not in my hash table.

So far I managed to get this going

Code:

Code:

Unfortunately those rules also apply to incoming messages. My goal is to disallow users on my host to change their "MAIL FROM" to anything they like and restrict them to domains I specify. I'm aware that the local part still is variable and a user of domain "foo.com" could use a email of domain "bar.com", but still some of my troubles would be solved if I get this running.

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Relay - Exchange Sends The Mail Instead Giving Recipient Mail A Valid Reverse DNS Lookup

Jan 12, 2011

The scenario: We have an external server that runs HTTP/DB servers for out shop system. Then, there's our local, in-house infrastructure that runs a.. yeah... Exchange 2010. The shop system on the external server needs to send mails to customers (order confirmations, invoices, etc.). seing as sending them directly through the local MTA (Postfix) would cause mail delivery problems because of reverse DNS issues, i've set the Postfix MTA to act as a satellite to our in-house Exchange Server, so the Exchange sends the mail instead, giving recipient mail servers a valid reverse DNS lookup.

Now, mails sent by the (proprietary, uneditable) shop system are relayed correctly and sent to the target e-mail address. My problem is: Mails not sent by the shop system, but by our own PHP scripts which run on that same external servers, are NOT relayed properly. So the Exchange is fine with the mails sent by the shop system, but not the mails sent by our scripts. This is what i get in the mail.log: The successfully relayed mail sent by the shop system:

Software :: Rejecting Continuously Changing Incoming Mail In Postfix?

Apr 4, 2011

I've read many post close to my subject regarding blacklisting incoming emails, but non of them described what I really want:How can I reject a continuously changing email from my postfix, here is what I mean:

abduooo+bncCIr7stnbBBCssufsBBoEzTHSKg@googlegroups.com
abduooo+bncCMfZgc-iExCKr-fsBBoEMzorbA@googlegroups.com
abduooo+bncCLf5kv6MHRCtmefsBBoEjYnAAQ@googlegroups.com

I think you got what I mean, the thing I've taken from the posts I've read is that I created a sender_access file hashed it and added the:smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_accessto postfix main.cf configurationThe sender access file reads:abduooo*@googlegroups.com REJECTBut that didn't work, I know that there is some magical slashes and dots to be added to the sender_access, but I don't know which.

Server :: Potfix Email Filter Based On Sender And Recipient To Forward Messages?

Nov 2, 2010

We have MS Exchange email server with postfix/amavis on FreeBSD as proxy for anti-spam and anti-virus. We use our own developed CRM and trying to implement such functionality that when CRM manager send email to CRM client or vice versa through email client like Outlook (no plugins for CRM) this message would be shown in CRM. There is already a solution to parse emails from specific emailbox and show it in CRM.

What I need is to create postfix email filter to check if sender email is in file CRM_managers_emails and recipient email is in file CRM_clients_emails then forward that email to [URL] Filter should check both incoming and outgoing messages. I will auto generate CRM_managers_emails and CRM_clients_email files containing all such emails taken from CRM database. I know i should use something like Postfix After-Queue Content Filter but most of examples are for blocking emails.

But if I enable SMTP auth I can send email form this same ip. Another thing is I can connect to port 587 from the email client to send email but can't connect to port 25.

Server :: Sendmail: Block Specific Sender To Specific Recipient?

Oct 1, 2009

I'm trying to configure our mail server to block email from a specific sender reaching a specific recipient. In other words, if one of our employees is getting harassed by a 'stalker', how would one go about blocking, at the MTA (Sendmail) level, a specific sender email address from reaching a particular users inbox? We do not want to capture the email - simply block it before it consumes server resources.The Sendmail server (MTA) is a front end to our Exchange server so no user accounts exist on the Linux server. We simply use it as a SPAM and Virus scanner then forward clean email to the Exchange server.

Server :: Sender Name Rewriting In Postfix?

Jan 8, 2010

I want a mail server that can relay mails to the internet using GMail and fetch the mails of different accounts into the mail server and distribute them to their respective users. I am using Postfix, Fetchmail and Dovecot. I have a PC with 3 users.I use the PC having Ubuntu 9.04 and share the internet. We all send mail and retrieve mail. We do use Evolution and Mutt sometimes. We want to send our mails with our email_ids without even logging in.

Hostname
mail.myhomepc.com
Domain
myhomepc.com

[code]....

I have created my custom certificate using SSL. I've created the Postfix's main.cf file following a tutorial on the net. Currently mails are going fine, but with our local email_ids. I want Postfix to rewrite our local email_ids with the equivalent email_id on the net.

Server :: Postfix Cannot Send Email From Thunderbird/Squirrelmail To Recipient Behind Firewall

Mar 22, 2011

My company email server has been working flawlessly for the last 5+ years. Recently, one of our clients put their email server behind a firewall (an assumption on my part; details below). Ever since, email sent from within the company (192.168.xxx.xxx internal address; all computers and server is behind a NAT firewall [Netgear FVX538]) is either being sent to the client after some delay (if email is sent using Outlook) or is being deferred until the messages expire (Thunderbird, Squirrelmail, etc.). Email sent to the client from anywhere outside the company (using Thunderbird, Outlook or any other email client) is also delivered without any problems (usually after a short delay).

All other emails to the World are being sent without any problems at all (both inside and outside the company; using any email client or webmail). I did contact the client's postmaster, but the client, being a large government agency, will probably not address the problem (if it is on their side) anytime soon. I am not sure if I can do anything from my end to solve the problem. Ever since the problem with the client began, I added two statements to the postfix configuration file (smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time = 20s and smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time = 0s); this seemed to a bit - it reduced the delay for emails sent via Outlook to a few minutes (as opposed to 30+ minutes); emails sent using Thunderbird/webmail are still being deferred.

Server details: Dual quad-core processor machine, 32 GB RAM, dual 1 gbps network, running Fedora 14 (64-bit; loosely modeled along the lines of Perfect Server (with ISPConfig2) as described on the howtoforge website). Running Postfix (v. 2.7.1), Dovecot (v. 2.0.9).

Postfix details:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mbl-body-deny
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
command_directory = /usr/sbin

[code]....

I emailed the client's postmaster suggesting they disable smtp fixup. But still, what bothers me now is that Outlook works (both within and outside the company) while Thunderbird, webmail, etc. (used by ~90% of the users) do not. In addition, all email clients from outside the company can send email (authenticated via the company server) to the client without any problems. Is there anything I can do on my end to make non-Outlook clients work within the company (webmail is hosted on the company server; so, it would have an internal address as well)?

Server :: Rewrite Sender Address In Postfix?

Dec 27, 2010

I need to have a postfix server to rewrite the sender's address. For example, if the sender is: [URL], then the recipient would receive all emails from [URL] as [URL]. I tried using the generic file and created a table out of it, but this did not work:

postmap /etc/postfix/generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9977 Dec 27 15:24 generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 27 15:25 generic.db

I added this line to the generic text file:

[code]....

I am running two boxes with postfix 2.3.3. and 2.1.1 respectively. Both need this configuration. I also added this line:

smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic

on the main.cf file. However, this did not work. The one running postfix 2.3.3 is on Centos 5.5, the other one is on SuSe Enterprise 9.

Ubuntu Security :: Postfix - Not Critical - SMTP Server: Errors From Unknown [ip Address] In Local Recipient Table

Jan 2, 2010

This is a transcript I get emailed at least once every day, usually about 3 to 10 a day recently.

Transcript of session follows.
SMTP server: errors from unknown[ip address]
<boring stuff snipped>
In: RCPT TO: <server@my domain>
Out: 550 5.1.1 <server@my domain>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

Session aborted, reason: lost connection Now I cannot seem to find anything via Google, as when I put "server@" anywhere in the string, I just get web hosting or other kroomst. The emails usually come from legit places, usually hotels. Does this mean they are sending bad emails, i.e. they have a Trojan/worm, or is this a live hack attempt?. I believe the later, as I might get upto 3 domains from the one ip address, which is always, NOT associated with the listed domain. Not causing me any issues, except I have been getting a lot recently.
