Hi.
Hello!
Is there a way to limit connections from web applications on the same
server for postfix?
The web application sends messages via smtp on localhost
(127.0.0.1:25).
Need to limit the maximum 5k messages per hour. Is that possible?
Regards
Using PHP's mail() function which sends via 25 is A Bad Thing
mail() don't use TCP, it uses pickup/sendmail
Correct. My point was that, in the most common Apache/PHP
configuration, there is no way to tell which site on a shared host sent
the mail. Using SASL via submission and a policy server to rate limit,
the OP gets his problem solved AND should a site be sending spam a quick
check of the logs and he'll know which site generated it.
Use something like phpmailer class to use submission
and a policy server to rate limit
don't change the fact that a web-app can't handle rate-limiting and
you just lose mail which exceeds the limit - in any case you need to
fix or just remove the vulnerable web-application or end with randomly
lost legit mail
And rate limiting would force the user to do just that, no?
what should the php-app do if the MTA rejetcs the mail beause you hit
the rate-control? queue it? hwo and where - that's why it talks to the
MTA instead to the final MX
WTF? How is the mail admin supposed to solve this problem for the
user? If the user's script doesn't handle it there is nothing the mail
admin can do about it. Unless you just want to accept all email from
localhost and deliver it no matter what.
Furthermore, even if the user's script isn't handling rejections he
should be checking his error logs, no?
