It seems pretty straight forward to me.
If you dont have any non-local users sending mail using this server you
could just shut down port 25. For those virtual-file id users use port
587 with smtp authentication.Forwarding for those users is not relevant
here.
Hello,
I was assuming this would be pretty easy, I'm a little surprised and
now messing with this amavid-wtf....
I can't shut down port 25, since we accept mail for sites and forward
it offsite.
I don't have any users sending mail via our SMTP, they all use gmail
boxes and their servers.
I only want to accept mail that is to an address listed in some file
somewhere, like /etc/postfix/virtual OR is sent by the local host.
What's really interesting is my spam fests are normally preceeded by a
/var with no free inodes left due to disk errors. 100% usage till I
run fsck on it.
I have to figure who ever is doing this crap obviously is targeting
postfix and probably reads these same lists.
It's unclear weather you might have a relaying problem or not. Are
there large numbers of messages destined for delivery to other sites in
your mailq? Is the spam that you are seeing addressed to local delivery
addresses at your site? Are there bounce messages in your mailq? I
realize you are forwarding local mail to gmail. So is your mailq filled
up with spam getting forwarded to gmail?
