2024-12-17 Thread Kenneth Porter via Postfix-users
The biggest headache I had when I used a backup MX was avoiding backscatter. So I tweaked my milter on the primary to always accept mail from the backup and never reject/bounce it. If necessary, silently drop spam. Alas, secondaries tend to be targets for spammers, on the assumption they get

I recommend installing etckeeper. I disable the setting to do auto-backups before package updates (yum or apt) and the nightly auto-backup so that all commits require me to explicitly set a change comment. (So I remember why I made the change.) *From:* Wietse Venema via Postfix-users *Sent:*

[pfx] Relaying from firewall to internal server with authentication

2024-11-02 Thread Kenneth Porter via Postfix-users
How would I configure a firewall server to forward to an internal server over an authenticated submission connection? The examples I'm reading seem to show an unauthenticated connection to port 25. I expect I'd use a custom internal user for this. Reference: https://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_C

Can I set recipient_delimiter to differerent values for different domains I serve? Many websites refuse a plus sign in an email address so I hacked my sendmail config to allow dot to be translated to plus. I use that a lot and have lots of plussed addresses in the wild that use a dot instead o

I'm reading through this document and don't see recipient_delimiter mentioned. Where is it applied to the incoming addresses? (It's otherwise a great, detailed document. I just don't see this one feature discussed, and I use it a lot as a user.) https://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README
