Installing Postfix

Changes for a new install on Debian in /etc/postfix:

touch relay-domains
touch virtual
touch virtual-domains
touch transport
touch aliases
postmap aliases
postmap virtual
postmap transport

This goes in some of the files:

/etc/postfix/virtual

# In order to translate any mailbox address from one domain to a mapped user on another domain add the following entries:

# account1@olddomain.ext account1
# account2@olddomain.ext account2
# newdomain.ext DOMAIN
# @newdomain.ext @olddomain.ext

# this will ensure that account1@olddomain.ext AND account1@newdomain.ext is delivered to account1 and account2@[newdomain or olddomain].ext goes to account2

# After changing this file run
# postmap virtual

# Catchalls are set up with
# @domain.ext	userid

/etc/postfix/virtual-domains

# This file contains the domains for which postfix will accept email
# It's not a hash file, so no need to run postmap on it.

Make sure the following is appended to mynetworks in main.cf

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 192.168.0.0/24, 212.61.33.42/32, 31.160.12.64/29, 188.204.140.192/27, 217.81.192.88/32

These are the /etc/postfix/main.cf edits

# This is all added for Mailman
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

home_mailbox = Maildir/

Some of the documentation on Maildir sets

mailbox_command =

But we're going to configure procmail to deliver to mailbox later, so we keep it as such:

mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

Check configuration

postconf -n

get rid of the postfix pop daemon

apt-get install dovecot-popa3d (for maildir support)

procmail

Change procmail to maildir delivery. Create /etc/procmailrc

LOGFILE=/var/log/mail/procmail
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=off
LOG=$date
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"
MAILDIR="$HOME/Maildir/"

Old procmail (non maildir

vi /etc/procmailrc

#Procmailrc modified by RazoR
#
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
LOGFILE=/var/log/mail/procmail
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=off
LOG=$date

touch /var/log/mail/procmail

logrotate procmail in the /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog file

rsyslog and logrotation

Edit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog to add /var/log/mail/procmail to it

edit the mail lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf to go to /var/log/mail/ and touch /var/log/mail/popa3d.log

add the following to /etc/rsyslogd.conf

!popa3d
*.*                             /var/log/mail/popa3d.log

In /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog (nb. because we have moved mail logs to /var/log/mail from /var/log)

/var/log/syslog
{
        rotate 7
        daily
        missingok
        notifempty
        delaycompress
        compress
        postrotate
                invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload > /dev/null
        endscript

        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
        endscript
}

Mutt

Use Mutt to open a maildir:

mutt -m maildir -f ~/Maildir

Set Mutt to read maildir. Edit /etc/Muttrc

set folder="~/Maildir"
set mask="!^\\.[^.]"
set mbox="~/Maildir"
set record="+.Sent"
set postponed="+.Drafts"
set spoolfile="~/Maildir"

Useful info

accept for primary MX if it goes down

To accept messages in the mailqueue and defer them untill the primary MX server is up again, add the domain.ext to /etc/postfix/relay-domains and in transport add

domain.ext	etrn-only:

The mail will then be delivered when sendmail -q is sent, or when

telnet mailserver 25, 
helo originating.domain
etrn defermaildomain.ext

mails get defered - you can see them in mailq

also in /var/spool/postfix/flush/

(see also [1] [2] [3]

postfix reload reloads the config

Squirrelmail and IMAP

for how to set up squirrelmail and cyrus for IMAP with postfix [Webmail_Squirrelmail_for_Debian]


force the queue delivery

postqueue -f

or deliver a specific message by

postsuper -r queue_id

Queue management

See the queue structure

qshape

you can see the active / incoming / deferred / hold queues by doing

qshape deferred

you may have to wait a bit for the output though.

To kill all deferred messages in the queue you can use

postsuper -d ALL deferred

An example from [4]

Example 5-1. Perl script to delete queued messages by email address

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# pfdel - deletes message containing specified address from
# Postfix queue. Matches either sender or recipient address.
#
# Usage: pfdel <email_address>
#

use strict;

# Change these paths if necessary.
my $LISTQ = "/usr/sbin/postqueue -p";
my $POSTSUPER = "/usr/sbin/postsuper";

my $email_addr = "";
my $qid = "";
my $euid = $>;

if ( @ARGV !=  1 ) {
        die "Usage: pfdel <email_address>\n";
} else {
        $email_addr = $ARGV[0];
}

if ( $euid != 0 ) {
        die "You must be root to delete queue files.\n";
}


open(QUEUE, "$LISTQ |") || 
  die "Can't get pipe to $LISTQ: $!\n";

my $entry = <QUEUE>;    # skip single header line
$/ = "";                # Rest of queue entries print on
                        # multiple lines.
while ( $entry = <QUEUE> ) {
        if ( $entry =~ / $email_addr$/m ) {
                ($qid) = split(/\s+/, $entry, 2);
                $qid =~ s/[\*\!]//;
                next unless ($qid);

                #
                # Execute postsuper -d with the queue id.
                # postsuper provides feedback when it deletes
                # messages. Let its output go through.
                #
                if ( system($POSTSUPER, "-d", $qid) != 0 ) {
                        # If postsuper has a problem, bail.
                        die "Error executing $POSTSUPER: error " .
                           "code " .  ($?/256) . "\n";
                }
        }
}
close(QUEUE);

if (! $qid ) {
        die "No messages with the address <$email_addr> " .
          "found in queue.\n";
}

exit 0;

Postgrey is a greylister that rejects email from a server on the first try, using the fact that most spammers do not retry to send their email, whereas almost all normal mail servers do.
