Hi all,

I have the situation where a spammer knows the username and password of
an account and is sending spam via that account. I can change the
password, however, this account is shared amongst many users and I'd
rather not ask all the users to change their password. (Computer
literacy is becoming a rare quality these days ;))

Our postfix server is behind a firewall. So the spammer always connects
via the gateway.
so you have to reject it on the gateway, if no need for anyone else
to use the account from outside

sender_restrictions via access table  may enough

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_sender_restrictions

somewhere before sasl permit etc
and/or use smtpd_restriction_classes to combine

if no external mail from outside is wanted for this account
i.e delete it from relay_recipients, so mail will always bounce from outside

for better help show the gateway main.cf

rejecting via ip may not very usefull, cause ips may change



The LAN gateway (NAT) - nothing to do with email. So in this case, the IP address (10.1.1.1) will not change.

Of course mail is wanted for this account and it is not received by this server. That's another server all together. However, this user need not send mail from outside the LAN.

Does that make sense?
