{usenet group seems to be almost dead ?}
I've recently noticed that my Postfix is being a naughty bunny. It is
attempting to query my ISP nameserver to reverse resolve LAN addresses
defined in my_networks.
Of course.
It tries to resolve the IP address of all clients connecting.
The queries look like this;
19-May-2009 7:26:56.489 client wan_ip#12345: query:
60.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN PTR +
Yes.
Which in turn gives this;
security: warning: client wan_ip#12345: RFC 1918 response from
Internet for 60.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
The security warning is broken. Turn it off.

Re: RFC 1918 -v- Postfix
* Steve steve.h...@digitalcertainty.co.uk: I disagree. It looks like Postfix is broken. Whilst I can see the desire to look up private IP ranges to see if they have a PTR record, it would not be unreasonable to expect it not to do it for trusted clients - such as those defined in 'my_networks'. Where is this behaviour documented? As a trusted and solid MTA there must be a way to get it to stop leaking rubbish DNS lookups from private networks ?

Re: RFC 1918 -v- Postfix
* Steve steve.h...@digitalcertainty.co.uk: Where is this behaviour documented? Good question. If it is not surely it would make a sensible feature request? Clearly as an expert on Postfix perhaps you can tell *ME* how to get Postfix to stop attempting rubbish DNS lookups rather than try and start an argument with me? I THINK it is possible, but that would disable it for all lookups, which is not wanted. Asking the question with the BIND list (which I did before coming here) clearly put the blame on the attempting client here - AKA 'Postfix'. Postfix is asking stupid questions to public DNS servers. Postfix does not perform DNS queries, that is done by your local (libc) resolver. They are nonsensical in my network context. That is, small class C with a handful of hosts, external DNS. Not only are they nonsensical queries to make, they are also a total waste of network resources and bandwidth. The fix here is to stop the client making them, not to stop the resolver from answering them. Usually, you would make BIND responsible for those local network, e.g. with dummy zones. powerdns does this automatically (which seems to be beneficial for your setup) -- Ralf Hildebrandt Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 http://www.computerbeschimpfung.de Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.

Re: Can't whitelist header / bodychecks

It is, however, a design choice that makes the feature less useful than it otherwise could have been. But the point here is that content inspection isn't a core part of the job of an MTA anyway, so if the rather simplistic version built in to Postfix isn't sufficient then you're no worse off than if it didn't have the facility to begin with. The fact that it does it at all is a bonus that may be useful in some cases where whitelisting isn't necessary. I only use it for stuff I absolutely don't want to see. Everything else gets handled by amavisd-new Actually, if you wanted to do it all with Postfix then I think one solution could be to use multiple SMTP services. Which can be done EASILY using the new postmulti command. Works as documented. I tried :) Have all inbound mail go to the first service, where mail from whitelisted sources is handled, then all remaining mail is delivered to the second service which does header checks before processing the mail.
