I have still one question, though.
I fear that forwarding the mail via transport may not consult the milter.
At the moment the remote Exchange is still not configured to accept the
domain. I'm still waiting for that to take place.
In the meantime, though, I would have expected that the course of action
is the following:
- postfix accepts the mail to this domain
- applies the restrictions
- once the mail has successfully passed the restrictions
- it delivers to the transport-specified destination
But in this case I should see a connection to and validation by the milter
before postfix tells me that the remote Exchange won't accept it.
And it doesn't do that.
Or does it first check if it would be able to deliver to the destination
before it applies the other restrictions?
The rspamd milter is set to get consulted at the end of
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
..
..
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10024,
permit
and: smtpd_delay_reject = yes
Will this check the milter before the message is sent over to the
transport-specified nexthop?
Thanks for a clarification!
Kai
That looks like a policy service and not a milter.
Regardless, postfix accepts mail, running it through all configured
milters, restrictions, and policy services, then puts it in the
queue. THEN it consults the transport table to see where to deliver
it. (this is somewhat over-simplification, but should answer your
question)
