<h2><a name="introduction">INTRODUCTION</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>hapolicy</strong> enables high availability, weighted loadbalancing and a fallback action for postfix policy delegation services. Invoked via postfix spawn it acts as a wrapper that queries
|
||
|
|
other policy servers via tcp connection. The order of the service queries can be influenced by assigning a specific priority and weight to each service. A service is considered 'failing',
|
||
|
|
if the connection is refused or the specified service timeout is reached. If all of the configured policy services were failing, <strong>hapolicy</strong> returns a default action (e.g. dunno) to postfix.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>With version 1.00 <strong>hapolicy</strong> has less than 200 lines of perl code using only standard perl modules. It does not require any disk access nor configuration files and runs under an unpriviledged
|
||
|
|
user account. This should allow fast and reliable operation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a name="configuration">CONFIGURATION</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>A service has the following attributes</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
"servicename" => {
|
||
|
|
ip => '127.0.0.1', # ip address
|
||
|
|
port => '10040', # tcp port
|
||
|
|
prio => '10', # optional, lower wins
|
||
|
|
weight => '1', # optional, for items with same prio (weighted round-robin), higher is better
|
||
|
|
timeout => '30', # optional, query timeout in seconds
|
||
|
|
},</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>You may define multiple services at the command line. Which means that</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
hapolicy -s "grey1=10.0.0.1:10031:10" -s "grey2=10.0.0.2:10031:20"</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>will always try first service <em>grey1</em> at ip 10.0.0.1 port 10031 and if that service is not available or
|
||
|
|
does not answer within the default of 30 seconds the next service <em>grey2</em> at ip 10.0.0.2 port 10031 will
|
||
|
|
be queried.<br><br>
|
||
|
|
<img src="hapolicy01.png"><br>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to load balance connections you may define</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
hapolicy -s "polw1=10.0.0.1:12525:10:2" -s "polw2=10.0.0.2:12525:10:1"</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>which queries service <em>polw1</em> at ip 10.0.0.1 twice as much as service <em>polw2</em> at ip 10.0.0.2.<br><br>
|
||
|
|
<img src="hapolicy02.png">
|
||
|
|
<br><br>
|
||
|
|
Note that this
|
||
|
|
setup also ensures high availability for both services. If <em>polw1</em> is not available or does not answer
|
||
|
|
within the default of 30 seconds <em>polw2</em> will be queried and vice versa. There is no reason to define a service twice.</p>
|
||
|

<p>
|

|

</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a name="integration">INTEGRATION</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Enter the following at the bottom of your postfix master.cf (usually located at /etc/postfix):</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
# service description, note the leading blanks at the second line
|
||
|
|
127.0.0.1:10061 inet n n n - 0 spawn
|
||
|
|
user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/hapolicy -l -s GREY1=10.0.0.1:10031:10 -s GREY2=10.0.0.2:10031:10</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>save the file and open postfix main.cf. Modify it as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
127.0.0.1:10061_time_limit = 3600</pre>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
|
||
|
|
permit_mynetworks,
|
||
|
|
... other authed permits ...
|
||
|
|
reject_unauth_destination,
|
||
|
|
... other restrictions ...
|
||
|
|
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10061 # <- hapolicy query</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now issue 'postfix reload' at the command line. Of course you can have more enhanced setups
|
||
|
|
using postfix restriction classes. Please see <a href="#links">LINKS</a> for further options.</p>
