You mean to remove "reject" from *smtpd_client_restrictions*, not from smtpd_recipient_restrictions. So, if we would be using: smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/gwservers.cidr,reject
we should rather just use:
smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/gwservers.cidr

Right?

why are you not only opening from the allowed addresses in
the packet-filter (iptables)? so you have no log-entries
from spammers all over the world and any protection should
generally happen as wide as possible before the service

I agree wholeheartedly and I do this as well, but I also believe in multi-layered security, so I would *definitely* also lock it down in postfix as above as well...


I agree that iptables-based filtering should be done as well.

But what about ::1 in the cidr table? Will it be OK??

Thanks,
Nick
