Hello, this is not strictly Postfix related, but I don't know how to get in contact with a similar crowd of experienced folks. Please direct me to a more suitable mailing list, it one exist.
In the last two weeks I've seen an upsurge of the rate to which spam messages are delivered to my domain inboxes. Nothing is changed in my quite standard configuration, thus I guess that spammers found a way to circumvent the basic protections I have in place. Did anyone notice something similar? What are the possible countermeasures? I use Postfix with this simple configuration: header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks.pcre smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_delay_reject = yes disable_vrfy_command = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated reject_invalid_hostname reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_non_fqdn_sender reject_non_fqdn_recipient reject_unknown_sender_domain reject_unknown_recipient_domain permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination permit_dnswl_client list.dnswl.org reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org reject_rbl_client b.barracudacentral.org reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net reject_rhsbl_reverse_client dbl.spamhaus.org reject_rhsbl_sender dbl.spamhaus.org reject_rhsbl_helo dbl.spamhaus.org permit with header_checks.pcre containing: /^X-Delivered-To: .*@grinta\.net$/ REJECT Mail forwarding loop detected /^(Delivered-To: .*@grinta\.net)$/ REPLACE X-$1 /^X-Spam-Status: Yes/ REJECT Looks like spam and SpamAssassin as a SMTP proxy filter via spampd. Thanks for any comment. Best, Daniele
