* Added DEFAULT_RELAY_HOST setting
* If set this value will be used as the relayhost in /etc/postfix/maincf causing all mail to be delivered using this relay host
* Test for default relay host setting
* Modified start-mailserver.sh with two new options for SSL certificate Configuration ():
+ ‘’ (empty string) modifies dovecot configs to allow plain text access
+ * (default) does nothing but warn with message ‘SSL configured by default’
* Updated README.md:
SSL_TYPE environment variable with unknown value will set SSL by default
* Describe format for .env in README
* Display used domain and hostname even when they are not acceptable
This should be clearer for the user when the hostname was set incorrectly.
The message size limit was reduced in c8728eab from the postfix
default [1] of 10,240,000B = 10,000kiB = ~10MiB to only
1,048,576B = 1MiB. And the documentation claims that this would be 10MiB
instead of 1MiB.
Restore the old behaviour as default and fix the documentation as well.

* Add new configuration for multi-domain relay hosts (#922)
* Creates new environment variables (replacing existing AWS_SES variables)
* Optionally allows more advanced setups using config files
* Update relay hosts during change detection (#922)
* Add helper scripts for adding relay hosts and per-domain auth
* Allow the possibility to deliver some mail directly
* adding a domain with no destination will exclude it from the
relayhost_map and so Postfix will attempt to deliver the mail directly
* tests for setup.sh script
* tests for relay host configuration
* these tests cover the code in `start-mailserver.sh` dealing with both
the env vars and the configuration files
* Added dependencies, binary, startup configuration
* Added env variable to dist files/readme
* send summary after each logrotate, added env variable for mail/logrotate interval
* remove mail.log from rsyslogs logrotate
* rotate mail.log when no email is set
* Added documentation for POSTFIX_LOGROTATE_INTERVAL
* Removed interval option, since its not being tested for.
* changed test to force logrotate to rotate fixed logrotate config
* readded setup_environment, made logrotate_setup being called everytime
* changed documentation for new variable names - again
* Did Documentation, added a default recipient, added test for default config.
* layout fix
* changed variable names apposite the documentation
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.)
(http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_dnsbl_sites)
- 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.
* Enable user definable fetchmail poll times
* create new ENV variable FETCHMAIL_POLL in target/start-mailserver.sh
* change --daemon setting in supervisor-app.conf to use ENV var
* Put FETCHMAIL_POLL env variable in Dockerfile to handle case where
user does not specify it in their docker-compose.yml
* installed supervisor. Still need to set tasks to run in foreground.
* setting programs to run in foreground
* seems to work now
* cleanup
* final fixes
* tests
* show startup output on stdout
* set Dovecot config files before starting it
* make all processes log to console
* Use the supervisor as the main process. The start-mailserver is started
from the supervisord and then this process triggers others.
Defined some default variable in the Dockerfile. In order for
supervisored to build the command lines the ENV variable need to be set.
Therefore the defaults are defined.
Some processes are not single processes like postfix and fail2ban and
they have a wrapper. The wrapper takes care of proper shutdown and checking
if the process is running or not. Supervisored will restart the wrapping
script if the process is gone.
Increased some delays between tests because sometimes they where to short
for all containers to be running.
* Remove obsolete comments, reset timeout value to old one, added new lines
* Add more time for analyzing the emails.
Sometimes it fails the tests and gives a wrong state about
the test. During testing 40 seconds was the safe value.
