Good evening,

I've had no trouble solving my issues with my postfix/dovecot setup with
manpages and the like before, but this new issue has me subscribing to the
mailing list because this is urgent.  I've been the victim of an XFORWARD
relay hack of sorts on my postfix server.  I'm not sure how many messages
got through, but they all sent from a domain that I web service but don't
mail service.

Essentially, someone found a way to connect to my server, sent an XFORWARD
SOURCE=LOCAL command, and attempted to send thousands of messages via relay
one after another with a reset command after each message was completed, so
they could maintain the connection.  My problem is that I don't have any
XFORWARD settings defined in my config and I can't find anything that would
normally authorize or deauthorize these commands.

I deleted over 47000 messages stuck in queue after I'm pretty sure I've
been blocked by all major mailing services.

How do I disable XFORWARD in a postfix/dovecot setup?
