I'm setting up Amavis with Postfix.
It's mostly all working, but when I send mail from an authenticated
roaming user -- specifically from my mobile phone authenticating to and
sending via my server -- I get
Apr 28 11:31:50 test postfix/qmgr[26625]: 9689560119:

I tracked down this thread,
"Open relay? Nonlocal recips but not originating: ..."
http://lists.amavis.org/pipermail/amavis-users/2011-March/000063.html
which says,
"For simple cases
(all users coming from internal networks, no authenticated
roaming
users), all you need to do is to properly configure the
@mynetworks
..."
For more complex setups where your users submit mail from
foreign
networks, you need to set up a dedicated policy bank with
originating=>1, attach it to a dedicated TCP port, then
configure
Postfix to pass authenticated mail from MSA to such port."
I've read that latter paragraph, and more at,
"Putting policy banks to good use -- examples"
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-docs.html#pbanks-ex
and honestly still don't get it.
Sending mail from an authenticated roaming user seems like a pretty
simple use case. At least it's pretty common. It appears to be
considered in amavis as a non-simple/standard case.
I've verified my server's not an open relay, only auth'd users can send.
In principle I can just ignore the amavis message. I'd eally like to
get it done right though.
I'd appreciate any help -- ideally in the form of a concrete example --
getting this properly set up.
Cheers.
