Hi All,

Recently i implemented the sender check. First i made a split for the processing and put some restrictions under smtpd_sender_restrictions and some under stmpd_recipient_restrictions.

This resulted in too many rejections, so i left the sender restrictions emtpy and put all under the recipient restrictions.


smtpd_helo_restrictions =
               reject_invalid_hostname
               reject_non_fqdn_hostname

smtpd_sender_restrictions =

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
               reject_non_fqdn_recipient
               reject_non_fqdn_sender
               reject_unknown_sender_domain
               reject_unknown_recipient_domain
               permit_mynetworks
               check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_whitelist
               check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_whitelist
               reject_unauth_destination
               reject_unverified_sender

One question is now : In which order are the sender restrictions and recipient restrictions applied ? So when a mail comes in, are first all the rules applied from the recipient restrictions and
then the sender restrictions or just the other way ?




Another question :

The mailserver (latest centos version 2.3.3) does virtual mailbox hosting.
I have a few "catch-all" network wide email adresses : postmaster@, apache@ and some more. My goal is, if there isn't a explicit (real) mailbox for a postmaster in a domain, then this catch-all has to catch those mails. But... Since i forward these now, i put a table under virtual_alias_maps. But when a real mailbox is defined, the mail is picked up by the virtual_alias_maps first since the processing order is first virtual_alias_maps and then virtual_mailbox_maps.. Right ?

Is there any way to work around this ? Putting the table with these regular expressions under virtual_mailbox_maps at the end isn't a solution, because this mapping does a mailbox lookup instead of forwarding. Note : the mail are forwarded to a mailbox which is hosted on the same server.


Regards,
Gerrit
