I'm walking through a week's worth of "leaks" through my filters etc., closing the holes.
Most have been clear enough to trace & remediate. This one has me a bit stymied. I'm not sure I have enough info to make out what's in fact going on. I'm seeing 2 different IPs in play, and can't unwind which one's relevant. Any comments/insight would help. I've got frontend Postfix+postscreen amavisd in a preQ filter, blocking extensions + clamav backend Postfix amavisd clamav inbound & outbound This particular 'leak' manifested as 3 internal-postmaster notices to me of banned file extensions -- no quarantine. Which I what I've initially intended. The notices informed of: Banned name: FILE EXTENSION. Resend without attachment type:.exe,.exe-ms,Internal_report_07072015.exe Bad header: MIME error: error: unexpected end of header; ; error: part did not end with expected boundary; ; error: unexpected end of parts before epilogue Content type: Banned Internal reference code for the message is 18021-09/akIF98V0zWO1 First upstream SMTP client IP address: [82.166.29.78]:24237 mail.tyrn.co.il Received trace: ESMTP://[82.166.29.78]:24237 < Microsoft_SMTP_Server://10.66.92.83 which got me looking at IP == 82.166.29.78. Once I looked into my *logs*, What's got me puzzled is the 2 different IPs, (1) & (2), I'm seeing: /var/log/postfix/postfix.log ./postfix/postfix.log:Jul 5 12:38:53 mailhost postfix/qmgr[2336]: 7E5815F742: from=<ubsgqer...@bmecollect.com>, size=59138, nrcpt=1 (queue active) ./postfix/postfix.log:Jul 5 12:38:53 mailhost postfix/postscreen-handoff/smtpd[25157]: proxy-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE: 554 5.7.0 Reject, id=18021-09 - BANNED: FILE EXTENSION.

Why am I seeing different IPs at (1) & (2), and which is the blockable sender's IP? I'm guessing only one is of functional interest to me ... In any case, I suspect I've got some config-cleaning to do.
