* Introduced Postscreen
cheaper, earlier and simpler blocking of zombies/spambots.
From http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/POSTSCREEN_README.html :
As a first layer, postscreen(8) blocks connections from zombies and other spambots that are responsible for about 90% of all spam. It is implemented as a single process to make this defense as cheap as possible.
Things we need to consider:
- Do we need a whitelist/backlist file? (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_access_list)
- Via introducing an optional config/postfix-access.cidr
- The only permanent whitelisting I could imagine are monitoring services(which might (still?) behave weird/hastely) or blacklisting backup servers(since no traffic should be coming from them anyway)
- Do we need deep inspections? They are desireable, but these tests are expensive: a good client must disconnect after it passes the test, before it can talk to a real Postfix SMTP server. Considered tests are:
- postscreen_bare_newline_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_bare_newline_action)
- postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_non_smtp_command_action)
- postscreen_pipelining_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_pipelining_action)
- Do we need to make the blacklisting via dnsblocking configurable? It's currently set and weighted as follows, where a score of 3 results in blocking, a score of -1 results in whitelisting:
(*: adds the specified weight to the SMTP client's DNSBL score. Specify a negative number for whitelisting.)

- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].0*-2
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].1*-3
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].[2..3]*-4
- What to do when blacklisting? I currently set it to drop. We could
- ignore: Ignore the failure of this test. Allow other tests to complete. Repeat this test the next time the client connects. This option is useful for testing and collecting statistics without blocking mail.
- enforce: Allow other tests to complete. Reject attempts to deliver mail with a 550 SMTP reply, and log the helo/sender/recipient information. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
- drop: Drop the connection immediately with a 521 SMTP reply. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
In the end I think we could drop postgrey support. Postscreen replaces postgrey in its entirety, while being more selective and not delaying mail. Especially if we consider using the deep inspection options of postscreen.
Hope that wasn't too much to read! ;)
* main.cf got misformatted..
Don't know how, should be ok now.
* fixed malformatted main.cf & repaired master.cf
* reenabled rbl stuff.. It's cached, therefore doesn't hurt
* fixed tests
* added tests, repaired tests, added info, introduced new Variable POSTSCREEN_ACTION, fixes
* Allow setup of LDAP STARTTLS for Dovecot and Postfix
* Added tests for TLS config override
* Add missing Postfix TLS options
* Added missing new line at the end of the file
* Added STARTTLS tests for Postfix config
This command can be used for generating DKIM key for a domain,
which is not included in any configuration files. For example,
when using SQL database for transport maps.
* Fix Dovecot Ldap Problems
* Fix typo within DEFAULT_VARS Definitions
* Fix wrong ldap hosts value within the bats test
* Fix override_config for strings containing &
* Fix erroneous removal of an conditional within the postfix override function
* Renamed Test 129, to be clear that this belongs to ldap
* Fix mail_with_ldap setting dn pass explicit
* Add 3 env variables for ldap: LDAP_QUERY_FILTER_{USER,GROUP,ALIAS}
* Update README.md
* Environment variable for spam subject tag
* Add SA_SPAM_SUBJECT to readme
* Add integration tests for spam subject tag
* Fix overwrite environment variable in config file
* Add #394: Postfix Virtual Transport
This makes it possible to specify a lmtp config file, by providing
POSTFIX_DAGENT.
Update - Readme with informations about #394
* Add Variable ENABLE_POSTFIX_VIRTUAL_TRANSPORT (task)
* Add Variable POSTFIX_DAGENT (section)
Added Unit tests for virtual transport
* Fix syntax error in test/tests.bats
* Fix Unit Test
* Removed DISABLE_AMAVIS
* Renamed DISABLE_* to ENABLE_* with 0 as default value. (this must be explicit)
* Added missing tests for ENABLE_*
* Improved readme and docker-compose example
Should fix#256 and #386
* Adding the PERMIT_DOCKER option
See README.md for more informations
* Adding some test for PERMIT_DOCKER option
* Fix test cases
* Opendkim and Openmarc configuration
Fix docker network range
Adding opendkim and openmarc configuration
* Adding some options for tests
* Update log message
* Update tests
One example was missing a useful line, which was present in the wiki's example and without which the example does not run.
A typographical error was found in a file.
./opendkim/ local folder shadows ./config/opendkim
on generation of the keyfiles all files get written to ./config/opendkim leaving ./opendkim empty
thus on startup no config for opendkim is loaded
The dovecot-sieve plugin is installed and configured to apply sieve
as soon as a .dovecot.sieve file is encountered in the virtual user's
home directory (that is /var/mail/${domain}/${username}/.dovecot.sieve).
Transport has been changed in the postfix configuration to use
Dovecot LDA (see http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix) to actually
enable sieve filtering.
Tests have been added.
Courier and Cyrus Sasl have been removed and substituted with Dovecot which now
handle authentication for Postfix, Imap and Pop3, with support for SSL.
This allow the use of several encryption schemes for the password as well as a
single user db.
OpenDKIM keys can now be provided at the startup and will be used instead of
generating new ones (so that you don't have to change your DNS configuration).
This version builds correctly on Docker but no integration tests have been
reworked to accommodate Dovecot instead of Courier and Cyrus Sasl. As such
at present no automatic tests can be executed.
