[IMGate] Re: Problem with main.cf syntax
I just encountered an issue with the main.cf file as provided by Len for the basic Imgate configuration and hope someone can clarify the situation for me. The issue came up when I needed to whitelist an email recipient address for a few of our users to the configuration and came across what looks to me like an error in the syntax. When I looked the the file main.cf I saw 2 lines that on their own as shown below: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unverified_recipient, hash:/etc/postfix/to_recipients_bw.map, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, hash:/etc/postfix/to_recipients_bw.map, Shouldn't the hash:/etc/postfix/to_recipients_bw.map be on the same line as one of the restrictions as the maptype:mapname? no, because we are in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions already Also there are some reject_ restrictions here I don't see listed in the Postfix book I have. Is the /etc/postfix/to_recipients_bw.map the correct place to add email addresses for our users who don't want email blocked? yes, see man 5 access The users in question receive email from Korea for potential students and since I set up IMGate here they are being contacted by people telling them that email from these potential Korean students is being rejected. look in the log file to see why exactly. if the rejects are for header or body checks due to kr character set, you remove the kr from filter. This is found by inspection. :) smtpd process to_recipients_bw whitelisting won't have any effect on rejects done by the cleanup process. I have asked for the specific bounce messages but to date non have been supplied making it more difficult to track down the problem. egrep the maillog file Len

From: Richard Edge [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just encountered an issue with the main.cf file as provided by Len for the basic Imgate configuration and hope someone can clarify the situation for SNIP Is the /etc/postfix/to_recipients_bw.map the correct place to add email addresses for our users who don't want email blocked? The users in question receive email from Korea for potential students and since I set up IMGate here they are being contacted by people telling them that email from these potential Korean students is being rejected. Korean mail is probably being blocked by either header checks or body checks- since Len is very agressive in blocking asian sourced spam. IIRC body checks has several checks for foreign character sets. Header/Body checks apply to all mail and I don't think you can selectivly bypass them. I have asked for the specific bounce messages but to date non have been supplied making it more difficult to track down the problem. I also don't want to open it up to allow spam to the rest of our users. The purpose here is for two deparments who need to receive email from Korea, English as a Second Language Institute and our Korean Worldview Studies program. Any suggestions would be helpful. Your missing bounces were probably returned to the Korean students who cannot send a copy your user- I doubt they can send you a copy of the bounce! What Postfix book are you referencing? If the book was based on 1.x, there are many things added to 2.0 and even 2.2! Gerry

-Original Message- no, because we are in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions already Okay, got it. yes, see man 5 access Hadn't checked there. I was using the book instead. look in the log file to see why exactly. if the rejects are for header or body checks due to kr character set, you remove the kr from filter. This is found by inspection. :) Tried that unfortunately they could not enven provide a date or time and with the tousands of other responsibilities I have I want the onus to be on the user complaing to at least provide me with enough criteria to narrow the search. I though I would check the list for other tips. smtpd process to_recipients_bw whitelisting won't have any effect on rejects done by the cleanup process. Understood I have asked for the specific bounce messages but to date non have been supplied making it more difficult to track down the problem. egrep the maillog file Like I said I would do this but without more details I am not going to search a months worth of logs if the user isn't going to meet me half-way. I use grep and the logs regularly but I always ask for enough details to begin a search or I would spend all my time doing so. Email administration is not my only responsibility. Thanks for the your help it has given me a couple of other areas to check.
