Ok, not quite sure what you are saying here.
You do not want to receive from a specific sender or you want to limit a
local user from sending to non local addresses?

Configuring Postfix

[David FREYCHE]

Hello,

I am new on the list and using a debian distribution 8.0 Jessie with
E-commerce CMS prestashop installed.


Here is the facts:

I receive spam on my mail queue (postqueue)
I already configured postfix with amavis for content filter which works fine



I want to

block sending my from a specific dns



So I want to configure postfix to avoid sending email from address
x...@store.uneaune.com


I configured postfix as follow:

main.cf

  smtp_sender_restrictions - check_sender_access
hash:/etc/postfix/access_dns

access_dns file (with postmap compilation and restarting postfix)

  store.uneaune.com REJECT



It just does not work. I tried something else but no.

Am I doing something wrong?
I have smtpd_relay_restrictions; does it conflicts with sending
restrictions?


Can you provide me some assistance?


Regards,

David FREYCHE

Not really:

procmail (or maildrop for those who don't like procmail's syntax) is 
necessary only for more advanced stuff, like sorting the mail in 
different folders.

Andrei

Postfix is an MTA. At some point, every MTA needs to pass mail off to an
MDA such as procmail or similar. Debian's postfix uses procmail by
default, so any configuration for custom mbox delivery ought to be done
in procmail rather than postfix.

3) it hijacked another thread.

4) there are manual pages, there also is the package 'postfix-doc' with
all the documentation. Please, the documentation wasn't made just to
keep developers busy, read it sometime.

Note, that there is a wikipedia page on what a MTA is and does, and
another one about postfix, including links to basic configuration.

Cheers,
Johannes

leonardo,

As Rob said, your questions are not very clear. You original post is
probably not getting much action because 1) it's not clear and 2)
configuring Postfix is such a basic/normal thing that it has been discussed
like crazy.

A simple google of 'debian postifix' lead to many, many, many how-to's,
manuals, general docs . . . the first of which is
http://wiki.debian.org/Postfix

Your freeBSD posts are very well recieved for the same reasons.

All Postfix does is mail delivery. IMAP and POP can be used to read
mail that has already been delivered. So, I guess I don't understand
what you're asking.


running the command "newaliases" don´t solve me nothing


All that command does is read `/etc/aliases` and generate `/etc/
aliases.db` from it.

so with the aliases configured postfix should send incoming mail in 
/var/mail/ folder?

Need help configuring postfix

[Raul Miller]

Hi,

I'm probably just being stupid, but I can't figure out how to configure
postfix.

How do you configure postfix so that most of the time mail is delivered
directly, but some of the time it's delivered to a specific smtp server.
Also, it must deliver most mail in my primary mail domain remotely --
unless there's a local email username which corresponds to the local
part of the email address, those should be delivered locally.

So, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered locally, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] but
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered remotely to the mx for domain.org.
[Also, I need to be able to run a script which toggles delivery of remote
messages between the usual mx rules and smarthost rules, but that's not
so urgent.]

I could probably figure this out if I sat down with the documentation for
a while and played with it, but at the moment I don't have an environment
where it's very safe to experiment.  [It's got some tools installed on
it which I need to address some other problems, but it's sending mail
to root which winds up going to a number of people.]

Thanks,

--
