Added `/var/lib/dovecot/` to the list of folders that get persisted in `mailstate`. So the creation of `ssl-parameters.dat` has not to be done every restart again. This may only take some dozen seconds, but can be very long on systems with high load.
* update postmaster_address in dovecot config according to POSTMASTER_ADDRESS env var
* tests: add another test for postmaster_address with default settings
* remove two ciphers according to https://www.htbridge.com/ssl/ (NIST, HIPAA)
* added a switch via an environment variable to choose between modern and intermediate ciphers
* new setup.sh function, new tests, new script and some minor updates to main.cf
* fix for missing files
* removed obsolete test-files
* restart postfix if neccessary.
* see pr #845
* fixed typo
* fixed branchmixup
* changed postfix reload command & changed to operate on container instead of image
* reload postfix only on adding new restriction
* main.cf is only changed when user is added.
- Postfix reload changed
- working on container instead of image now in setup.sh
- added cleanup after tests
* moved cleanup to makefile
* 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.)

- zen.spamhaus.org*3
- bl.mailspike.net
- b.barracudacentral.org*2
- bl.spameatingmonkey.net
- bl.spamcop.net
- dnsbl.sorbs.net
- psbl.surriel.com
- 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
* install dovecot from backports
* dovecot 2.2.33 has a slightly different TLS-configuration than 2.2.27
* want to have both images a the same time
* make use of the /etc/dovecot/ssl as mkcert.sh (2.2.33) is using that folder for certs.
* fail2ban handling integrated in setup.sh
- calling \"./setup debug fail2ban\" lists all iptable chains whith blocked IPs (like: Banned in dovecot: 91.200.12.164
Banned in postfix-sasl: 91.200.12.164)
- calling \"./setup debug fail2ban unban xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy ...]\" unbans/removes those IPs from all jails.
- calling \"./setup debug fail2ban unban\" (without an IP) gives an descriptive error: (You need to specify an IP address. Run "./setup.sh debug fail2ban" to get a list of banned IP addresses.)
* disable_vrfy_command: (#798)
Prevents Spammers from collecting existing mail-addresses by probing the mailserver for them.
* Added support for Dovecot and Postfix LDAP TLS (#800)
* 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
* tests added
and made the script output look more shiny.
* setup.sh enhancements
* 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
