<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="introduction">INTRODUCTION</a></h2>
|
||
<p>postfwd is written to combine complex postfix restrictions in a ruleset similar to those of the most firewalls.
|
||
The program uses the postfix policy delegation protocol to control access to the mail system before a message
|
||
has been accepted (please visit <a href="http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html">http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html</a> for more information).</p>
|
||
<p>postfwd allows you to choose an action (e.g. reject, dunno) for a combination of several smtp parameters
|
||
(like sender and recipient address, size or the client's TLS fingerprint). Also it offers simple macros/acls
|
||
which should allow straightforward and easy-to-read configurations.</p>
|
||
<p><em>Features:</em></p>
|
||
<p>* Complex combinations of smtp parameters</p>
|
||
<p>* Combined RBL/RHSBL lookups with arbitrary actions depending on results</p>
|
||
<p>* Scoring system</p>
|
||
<p>* Date/time based rules</p>
|
||
<p>* Macros/ACLs, Groups, Negation</p>
|
||
<p>* Compare request attributes (e.g. client_name and helo_name)</p>
|
||
<p>* Internal caching for requests and dns lookups</p>
|
||
<p>* Built in statistics for rule efficiency analysis</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="configuration">CONFIGURATION</a></h2>
|
||
<p>A configuration line consists of optional item=value pairs, separated by semicolons
|
||
(`;`) and the appropriate desired action:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
[ <item1>[=><~]=<value>; <item2>[=><~]=<value>; ... ] action=<result></pre>
|
||
<p><em>Example:</em></p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local ; action=REJECT</pre>
|
||
<p>This will deny all mail from 192.168.1.1 with envelope sender <a href="mailto:no@bad.local.">no@bad.local.</a> The order of the elements
|
||
is not important. So the following would lead to the same result as the previous example:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
action=REJECT ; client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local</pre>
|
||
<p>The way how request items are compared to the ruleset can be influenced in the following way:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
====================================================================
|
||
ITEM==VALUE true if ITEM equals VALUE
|
||
ITEM>=VALUE true if ITEM >= VALUE
|
||
ITEM<=VALUE true if ITEM <= VALUE
|
||
ITEM~=VALUE true if ITEM ~= /^VALUE$/i
|
||
ITEM=VALUE default behaviour (see ITEMS section)
|
||
====================================================================</pre>
|
||
<p>To identify single rules in your log files, you may add an unique identifier for each of it:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R_001 ; action=REJECT ; client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local</pre>
|
||
<p>You may use these identifiers as target for the `jump()` command (see ACTIONS section below). Leading
|
||
or trailing whitespace characters will be ignored. Use '#' to comment your configuration. Others will
|
||
appreciate.</p>
|
||
<p>A ruleset consists of one or multiple rules, which can be loaded from files or passed as command line
|
||
arguments. Please see the COMMAND LINE section below for more information on this topic.</p>
|
||
<p>Rules can span multiple lines by adding a trailing backslash ``\'' character:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R_001 ; client_address=192.168.1.0/24; sender==no@bad.local; \
|
||
action=REJECT please use your relay from there</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="items">ITEMS</a></h2>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id - a unique rule id, which can be used for log analysis
|
||
ids also serve as targets for the "jump" command.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
date, time - a time or date range within the specified rule shall hit</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
days, months - a range of weekdays (Sun-Sat) or months (Jan-Dec)
|
||
within the specified rule shall hit</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
score - when the specified score is hit (see ACTIONS section)
|
||
the specified action will be returned to postfix
|
||
scores are set global until redefined!</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
request_score - this value allows to access a request's score. it
|
||
may be used as variable ($$request_score).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rbl, rhsbl, - query the specified RBLs/RHSBLs, possible values are:
|
||
rhsbl_client, <name>[/<reply>/<maxcache>, <name>/<reply>/<maxcache>]
|
||
rhsbl_sender, (defaults: reply=^127\.0\.0\.\d+$ maxcache=3600)
|
||
rhsbl_reverse_client the results of all rhsbl_* queries will be combined
|
||
in rhsbl_count (see below).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rblcount, rhsblcount - minimum RBL/RHSBL hitcounts to match. if not specified
|
||
a single RBL/RHSBL hit will match the rbl/rhsbl items.
|
||
you may specify 'all' to evaluate all items, and use
|
||
it as variable in an action (see ACTIONS section)
|
||
(default: 1)</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
sender_localpart, - the local-/domainpart of the sender address
|
||
sender_domain</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
recipient_localpart, - the local-/domainpart of the recipient address
|
||
recipient_domain</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
version - postfwd version, contains "postfwd n.nn"
|
||
this enables version based checks in your rulesets
|
||
(e.g. for migration). works with old versions too,
|
||
because a non-existing item always returns false:
|
||
id=R01; version~=1.10; sender_domain==some.org \
|
||
; action=REJECT sorry no access</pre>
|
||
<p>Besides these you can specify any attribute of the postfix policy delegation protocol.
|
||
Feel free to combine them the way you need it (have a look at the EXAMPLES section below).</p>
|
||
<p>Most values can be specified as regular expressions (PCRE). Please see the table below
|
||
for details:</p>
|
||
<pre>

...</pre>
|
||
<p>the current list can be found at <a href="http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html">http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html</a>. Please read carefully about which
|
||
attribute can be used at which level of the smtp transaction (e.g. size will only work reliably at END_OF_DATA level).
|
||
Pattern matching is performed case insensitive.</p>
|
||
<p>Multiple use of the same item is allowed and will compared as logical OR, which means that this will work as expected:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=TRUST001; action=OK; encryption_keysize=64; \
|
||
ccert_fingerprint=11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99; \
|
||
ccert_fingerprint=22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00; \
|
||
ccert_fingerprint=33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00:11; \
|
||
sender=@domain\.local$</pre>
|
||
<p>client_address, rbl and rhsbl items may also be specified as whitespace-or-comma-separated values:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=SKIP01; action=dunno; \
|
||
client_address=192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.254.23
|
||
id=SKIP02; action=dunno; \
|
||
client_address= 10.10.3.32 \
|
||
10.216.222.0/27</pre>
|
||
<p>The following items currently have to be unique:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id, minimum and maximum values, rblcount and rhsblcount</pre>
|
||
<p>Any item can be negated by preceeding '!!' to it, e.g.:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=TLS001 ; hostname=!!^secure\.trust\.local$ ; action=REJECT only secure.trust.local please</pre>
|
||
<p>To avoid confusion with regexps or simply for better visibility you can use '!!(...)':</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=USER01 ; sasl_username=!!( (bob|alice) ) ; action=REJECT who is that?</pre>
|
||
<p>Request attributes can be compared by preceeding '$$' characters, e.g.:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R-003 ; client_name = !! $$helo_name ; action=WARN helo does not match DNS
|
||
# or
|
||
id=R-003 ; client_name = !!($$(helo_name)) ; action=WARN helo does not match DNS</pre>
|
||
<p>This is only valid for PCRE values (see list above). The comparison will be performed as case insensitive exact match.
|
||
Use the '-vv' option to debug.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="actions">ACTIONS</a></h2>
|
||
<p><em>General</em></p>
|
||
<p>Actions will be executed, when all rule items have matched a request (or at least one of any item list). You can refer to
|
||
request attributes by preceeding $$ characters, like:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R-003; client_name = !!$$helo_name; action=WARN helo '$$helo_name' does not match DNS '$$client_name'
|
||
# or
|
||
id=R-003; client_name = !!$$helo_name; action=WARN helo '$$(helo_name)' does not match DNS '$$(client_name)'</pre>
|
||
<p><em>postfix actions</em></p>
|
||
<p>Actions will be replied to postfix as result to policy delegation requests. Any action that postfix understands is allowed - see
|
||
``man 5 access'' or <a href="http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html">http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html</a> for a description. If no action is specified, the postfix WARN action
|
||
which simply logs the event will be used for the corresponding rule.</p>
|
||
<p>postfwd will return dunno if it has reached the end of the ruleset and no rule has matched. This can be changed by placing a last
|
||
rule containing only an action statement:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
...
|
||
action=dunno ; sender=@domain.local # sender is ok
|
||
action=reject # default deny</pre>
|
||
<p><em>postfwd actions</em></p>
|
||
<p>postfwd actions control the behaviour of the program. Currently you can specify the following:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
jump (<id>)
|
||
jumps to rule with id <id>, use this to skip certain rules.
|
||
you can jump backwards - but remember that there is no loop
|
||
detection at the moment! jumps to non-existing ids will be skipped.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
score (<score>)
|
||
the request's score will be modified by the specified <score>,
|
||
which must be a floating point value. the modificator can be either
|
||
+n.nn adds n.nn to current score
|
||
-n.nn sustracts n.nn from the current score
|
||
*n.nn multiplies the current score by n.nn
|
||
/n.nn divides the current score through n.nn
|
||
=n.nn sets the current score to n.nn
|
||
if the score exceeds the maximum set by `--scores` option (see
|
||
COMMAND LINE) or the score item (see ITEMS section), the action
|
||
defined for this case will be returned (default: 5.0=>"REJECT postfwd score exceeded").</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
set (<item>=<value>,<item>=<value>,...)
|
||
this command allows you to insert or override request attributes, which then may be
|
||
compared to your further ruleset. use this to speed up repeated comparisons to large item lists.
|
||
please see the EXAMPLES section for more information. you may separate multiple key=value pairs
|
||
by "," characters.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rate (<item>/<max>/<time>/<action>)
|
||
this command creates a counter for the given <item>, which will be increased any time a request
|
||
containing it arrives. if it exceeds <max> within <time> seconds it will return <action> to postfix.
|
||
rate counters are very fast as they are executed before the ruleset is parsed.
|
||
# no more than 3 requests per 5 minutes
|
||
# from the same "unknown" client
|
||
id=RATE01 ; client_name==unknown ; \
|
||
action==rate($$client_address/3/300/450 4.7.1 sorry, max 3 requests per 5 minutes)</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
size (<item>/<max>/<time>/<action>)
|
||
this command works similar to the rate() command with the difference, that the rate counter is
|
||
increased by the request's size attribute. to do this reliably you should call postfwd from
|
||
smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. if you want to be sure, you could check it within the ruleset:
|
||
# size limit 1.5mb per hour per client
|
||
id=SIZE01 ; state==END_OF_DATA ; client_address==!!(10.1.1.1); \
|
||
action==size($$client_address/1572864/3600/450 4.7.1 sorry, max 1.5mb per hour)</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
wait (<delay>)
|
||
pauses the program execution for <delay> seconds. use this for
|
||
delaying or throtteling connections.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
note (<string>)
|
||
just logs the given string and continues parsing the ruleset.
|
||
if the string is empty, nothing will be logged.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
quit (<code>)
|
||
terminates the program with the given exit-code. postfix doesn`t
|
||
like that too much, so use it with care.</pre>
|
||
<p>You can reference to request attributes, like</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R-HELO ; helo_name=^[^\.]+$ ; action=REJECT invalid helo '$$helo_name'</pre>
|
||
<p>These special attributes will be reset for any new rule:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rblcount - contains the number of RBL answers
|
||
rhsblcount - contains the number of RHSBL answers
|
||
matches - contains the number of matched items</pre>
|
||
<p>This means that you must save them, if you plan to use these values in later rules:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# set vals
|
||
id=RBL01 ; rhsblcount=all ; rblcount=all ; \
|
||
rbl=list.dsbl.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.sorbs.net, zen.spamhaus.org ; \
|
||
rhsbl_client=rddn.dnsbl.net.au, rhsbl.ahbl.org, rhsbl.sorbs.net ; \
|
||
rhsbl_sender=rddn.dnsbl.net.au, rhsbl.ahbl.org, rhsbl.sorbs.net ; \
|
||
action=set(HIT_rhls=$$rhsblcount,HIT_rbls=$$rblcount)</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# compare
|
||
id=RBL02 ; HIT_rhls>=1 ; HIT_rbls>=1 ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rhls RHSBLs and $$HIT_rbls RBLs
|
||
id=RBL03 ; HIT_rhls>=2 ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rhls RHSBLs
|
||
id=RBL04 ; HIT_rbls>=2 ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rbls RBLs</pre>
|

<p>
|

</p>

<h2><a name="macros_acls">MACROS/ACLS</a></h2>
|

<p>Multiple use of long items or combinations of them may be abbreviated by macros. Those must be prefixed by '&&' (two '&' characters).

First the macros have to be defined as follows:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
&&RBLS { rbl=zen.spamhaus.org,list.dsbl.org,bl.spamcop.net,dnsbl.sorbs.net,ix.dnsbl.manitu.net; };</pre>
|
||
<p>Then these may be used in your rules, like:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
&&RBLS ; client_name=^unknown$ ; action=REJECT
|
||
&&RBLS ; client_name=(\d+[\.-_]){4} ; action=REJECT
|
||
&&RBLS ; client_name=[\.-_](adsl|dynamic|ppp|)[\.-_] ; action=REJECT</pre>
|
||
<p>Macros can contain actions, too:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# definition
|
||
&&GONOW { action=REJECT your request caused our spam detection policy to reject this message. More info at <a href="http://www.domain.local">http://www.domain.local</a>; };
|
||
# rules
|
||
&&GONOW ; &&RBLS ; client_name=^unknown$
|
||
&&GONOW ; &&RBLS ; client_name=(\d+[\.-_]){4}
|
||
&&GONOW ; &&RBLS ; client_name=[\.-_](adsl|dynamic|ppp|)[\.-_]</pre>
|
||
<p>Macros can contain macros, too:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# definition (note the trailing "\" characters)
|
||
&&RBLS { \
|
||
rbl=zen.spamhaus.org ; \
|
||
rbl=list.dsbl.org ; \
|
||
rbl=bl.spamcop.net ; \

|
||
};
|
||
&&GOAWAY { &&RBLS; &&DYNAMIC; };
|
||
# rules
|
||
&&GOAWAY ; action=REJECT dynamic client and listed on RBL</pre>
|
||
<p>Basically macros are simple text substitutions - see the <a href="#parser">PARSER</a> section for more information.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="command_line">COMMAND LINE</a></h2>
|
||
<p><em>Ruleset</em></p>
|
||
<p>The following arguments are used to specify the source of the postfwd ruleset. This means
|
||
that at least one of the following is required for postfwd to work.</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-f, --file <file>
|
||
Reads rules from <file>. Please see the CONFIGURATION section
|
||
below for more information.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-r, --rule <rule>
|
||
Adds <rule> to ruleset. Remember that you might have to quote
|
||
strings that contain whitespaces or shell characters.</pre>
|
||
<p><em>Scoring</em></p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-s, --scores <val>=<action>
|
||
Returns <action> to postfix, when the request's score exceeds <val></pre>
|
||
<p>Multiple usage is allowed. Just chain your arguments, like:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -r "<item>=<value>;action=<result>" -f <file> -f <file> ...
|
||
or
|
||
postfwd --scores 4.5="WARN high score" --scores 5.0="REJECT postfwd score too high" ...</pre>
|
||
<p>In case of multiple scores, the highest match will count. The order of the arguments will be
|
||
reflected in the postfwd ruleset.</p>
|
||
<p><em>Networking</em></p>
|
||
<p>postfwd can be run as daemon so that it listens on the network for incoming requests.
|
||
The following arguments will control it's behaviour in this case.</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-d, --daemon
|
||
postfwd will run as daemon and listen on the network for incoming
|
||
queries (default 127.0.0.1:10040).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-i, --interface <dev>
|
||
Bind postfwd to the specified interface (default 127.0.0.1).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-p, --port <port>
|
||
postfwd listens on the specified port (default tcp/10040).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-u, --user <name>
|
||
Changes real and effective user to <name>.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-g, --group <name>
|
||
Changes real and effective group to <name>.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-R, --chroot <path>
|
||
Chroot the process to the specified path.
|
||
Test this before using - you might need some libs there.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-l, --logname <label>
|
||
Labels the syslog messages. Useful when running multiple
|
||
instances of postfwd.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--pidfile <path>
|
||
The process id will be saved in the specified file.</pre>
|
||
<p><em>Optional arguments</em></p>
|
||
<p>These parameters influence the way postfwd is working. Any of them can be combined.</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-v, --verbose
|
||
Verbose logging displays a lot of useful information but can cause
|
||
your logfiles to grow noticeably. So use it with caution. Set the option
|
||
twice (-vv) to get more information (logs all request attributes).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-c, --cache <int> (default=600)
|
||
Timeout for request cache, results for identical requests will be
|
||
cached until config is reloaded or this time (in seconds) expired.
|
||
A setting of 0 disables this feature.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cache-no-size
|
||
Ignores size attribute for cache comparisons which will lead to better
|
||
cache-hit rates. You should set this option, if you don't use the size
|
||
item in your ruleset.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cache-no-sender
|
||
Ignores sender address for cache comparisons which will lead to better
|
||
cache-hit rates. You should set this option, if you don't use the sender
|
||
item in your ruleset.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cache-rdomain-only
|
||
This will strip the localpart of the recipient's address before filling the
|
||
cache. This may considerably increase cache-hit rates.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cache-rbl-timeout <timeout> (default=3600)
|
||
This default value will be used as timeout in seconds for rbl cache items,
|
||
if not specified in the ruleset.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cache-rbl-default <pattern> (default=^127\.0\.0\.\d+$)
|
||
Matches <pattern> to rbl/rhsbl answers (regexp) if not specified in the ruleset.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cacheid <item>, <item>, ...
|
||
This csv-separated list of request attributes will be used to construct
|
||
the request cache identifier. Use this only, if you know exactly what you
|
||
are doing. If you, for example, use postfwd only for RBL/RHSBL control,
|
||
you may set this to
|
||
postfwd --cache=3600 --cacheid=client_name,client_address
|
||
This increases efficiency of caching and improves postfwd's performance.
|
||
Warning: You should list all items here, which are used in your ruleset!</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cleanup-requests <interval> (default=600)
|
||
The request cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
|
||
seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
|
||
a new request arrives.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cleanup-rbls <interval> (default=600)
|
||
The rbl cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
|
||
seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
|
||
a new request arrives.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--cleanup-rates <interval> (default=600)
|
||
The rate cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
|
||
seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
|
||
a new request arrives.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-S, --summary <int> (default=600)
|
||
Shows some usage statistics (program uptime, request counter, matching rules)
|
||
every <int> seconds. This option is included by the -v switch.
|
||
This feature uses the alarm signal, so you can force postfwd to dump the stats
|
||
using `kill -ALRM <pid>` (where <pid> is the process id of postfwd).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Example:
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Counters: 213000 seconds uptime, 39 rules
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Requests: 71643 overall, 49 last interval, 62.88% cache hits
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Averages: 20.18 overall, 4.90 last interval, 557.30 top
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Contents: 44 cached requests, 239 cached dnsbl results
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-001 matched: 2704 times
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-002 matched: 9351 times
|
||
Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-003 matched: 3116 times
|
||
...</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-L, --stdoutlog
|
||
Redirects all syslog messages to stdout for debugging. Never use this with postfix!</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--shortlog
|
||
As postfwd now logs all hits for a request, you might find it unecessary to log the
|
||
postfwd actions jump(), set() and score(). You may disable it with this option.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-t, --test
|
||
In test mode postfwd always returns "dunno", but logs according
|
||
to it`s ruleset. -v will be set automatically with this option.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-n, --nodns
|
||
Disables all DNS based checks like RBL checks. Rules containing
|
||
such elements will be ignored.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--dns_queuesize (default: 100)
|
||
Sets the queue size for asynchonous dns queries. If the query exceeds this value,
|
||
postfwd waits for answers of timeouts for previous queries.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--dns_retries (default: 3)
|
||
Sets the retry counter for asynchonous dns queries. This value will apply to
|
||
every single query.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--dns_timeout (default: 7)
|
||
Sets the timeout for asynchonous dns queries in seconds. This value will apply to
|
||
all dns items in a rule.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--dns_timeout_max (default: 10)
|
||
Sets the maximum timeout counter for dnsbl lookups. If the timeouts exceed this value
|
||
the corresponding dnsbl will be deactivated for a while (see --dns_timeout_interval).</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
--dns_timeout_interval (default=1200)
|
||
The dnsbl timeout counter will be cleaned after this interval in seconds. Use this
|
||
in conjunction with the --dns_timeout_max parameter.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-I, --instantcfg
|
||
The config files, specified by -f will be re-read for every request
|
||
postfwd receives. This enables on-the-fly configuration changes
|
||
without restarting. Though files will be read only if necessary
|
||
(which means their access times changed since last read) this might
|
||
significantly increase system load.</pre>
|
||
<p><em>Informational arguments</em></p>
|
||
<p>These arguments are for command line usage only. Never ever use them with postfix spawn!</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-C, --showconfig
|
||
Displays the current ruleset. Use -v for verbose output.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-P, --perfmon
|
||
This option turns of any syslogging and output. It is included
|
||
for performance testing.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-V, --version
|
||
Displays the program version.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-h, --help
|
||
Shows program usage.</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
-m, --manual
|
||
Displays the program manual.</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="refresh">REFRESH</a></h2>
|
||
<p>In daemon mode postfwd reloads it's ruleset after receiving a HUP signal. Please see the description of

the '-I' switch to have your configuration refreshed for every request postfwd receives.</p>

<h2><a name="parser">PARSER</a></h2>
|
||
<p><em>Configuration</em></p>
|
||
<p>The postfwd ruleset can be specified at the commandline (-r option) or be read from files (-f). The order of your arguments will be kept. You should
|
||
check the parser with the -C | --showconfig switch at the command line before applying a new config. The following call:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd --showconfig \
|
||
-r "id=TEST; recipient_count=100; action=WARN mail with 100+ recipients" \
|
||
-f /etc/postfwd.cf \
|
||
-r "id=DEFAULT; action=dunno";</pre>
|
||
<p>will produce the following output:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Rule 0: id->"TEST" action->"WARN mail with 100+ recipients"; recipient_count->"100"
|
||
...
|
||
... <content of /etc/postfwd.cf> ...
|
||
...
|
||
Rule <n>: id->"DEFAULT" action->"dunno"</pre>
|
||
<p>Multiple items of the same type will be added to lists (see the <a href="#items">ITEMS</a> section for more info):</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd --showconfig \
|
||
-r "client_address=192.168.1.0/24; client_address=172.16.26.32; action=dunno"</pre>
|
||
<p>will result in:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Rule 0: id->"R-0"; action->"dunno"; client_address->"192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.26.32"</pre>
|
||
<p>Macros are evaluated at configuration stage, which means that</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd --showconfig \
|
||
-r "&&RBLS { rbl=bl.spamcop.net; client_name=^unknown$; };" \
|
||
-r "id=RBL001; &&RBLS; action=REJECT listed on spamcop and bad rdns";</pre>
|
||
<p>will result in:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Rule 0: id->"RBL001"; action->"REJECT listed on spamcop and bad rdns"; rbl->"bl.spamcop.net"; client_name->"^unknown$"</pre>
|
||
<p><em>Request processing</em></p>
|
||
<p>When a policy delegation request arrives it will be compared against postfwd`s ruleset. To inspect the processing in detail you should increase
|
||
verbority using use the ``-v'' or ``-vv'' switch. ``-L'' redirects log messages to stdout.</p>
|
||
<p>Keeping the order of the ruleset in general, items will be compared in random order, which basically means that</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R001; action=dunno; client_address=192.168.1.1; sender=bob@alice.local</pre>
|
||
<p>equals to</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
id=R001; sender=bob@alice.local; client_address=192.168.1.1; action=dunno</pre>
|
||
<p>Lists will be evaluated in the specified order. This allows to place faster expressions at first:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -vv -L -r "id=RBL001; rbl=localrbl.local zen.spamhaus.org; action=REJECT" /root/request.sample</pre>
|
||
<p>produces the following</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
[LOGS info]: compare rbl: "remotehost.remote.net[68.10.1.7]" -> "localrbl.local"
|
||
[LOGS info]: count1 rbl: "2" -> "0"
|
||
[LOGS info]: query rbl: localrbl.local 7.1.10.68 (7.1.10.68.localrbl.local)
|
||
[LOGS info]: count2 rbl: "2" -> "0"
|
||
[LOGS info]: match rbl: FALSE
|
||
[LOGS info]: compare rbl: "remotehost.remote.net[68.10.1.7]" -> "zen.spamhaus.org"
|
||
[LOGS info]: count1 rbl: "2" -> "0"
|
||
[LOGS info]: query rbl: zen.spamhaus.org 7.1.10.68 (7.1.10.68.zen.spamhaus.org)
|
||
[LOGS info]: count2 rbl: "2" -> "0"
|
||
[LOGS info]: match rbl: FALSE
|
||
[LOGS info]: Action: dunno</pre>
|
||
<p>The negation operator !!(<value>) has the highest priority and therefore will be evaluated first. Then variable substitutions are performed:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -vv -L -r "id=TEST; action=REJECT; client_name=!!($$heloname)" /root/request.sample</pre>
|
||
<p>will give</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
[LOGS info]: compare client_name: "unknown" -> "!!($$helo_name)"
|
||
[LOGS info]: negate client_name: "unknown" -> "$$helo_name"
|
||
[LOGS info]: substitute client_name: "unknown" -> "english-breakfast.cloud8.net"
|
||
[LOGS info]: match client_name: TRUE
|
||
[LOGS info]: Action: REJECT</pre>
|
||
<p><em>Ruleset evaluation</em></p>
|
||
<p>A rule hits when all items (or at least one element of a list for each item) have matched. As soon as one item (or all elements of a list) fails
|
||
to compare against the request attribute the parser will jump to the next rule in the postfwd ruleset.</p>
|
||
<p>If a rule matches, there are two options:</p>
|
||
<p>* Rule returns postfix action (dunno, reject, ...)
|
||
The parser stops rule processing and returns the action to postfix. Other rules will not be evaluated.</p>
|
||
<p>* Rule returns postfwd action (jump(), note(), ...)
|
||
The parser evaluates the given action and continues with the next rule (except for the <code>jump()</code> or <code>quit()</code> actions - please see the <a href="#actions">ACTIONS</a> section
|
||
for more information). Nothing will be sent to postfix.</p>
|
||
<p>If no rule has matched and the end of the ruleset is reached postfwd will return dunno without logging anything unless in verbose mode. You may
|
||
simply place a last `catch-all<6C> rule to change that behaviour:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
... <your rules> ...
|
||
id=DEFAULT ; action=dunno</pre>
|
||
<p>will log any request that passes the ruleset without having hit a prior rule.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="integration">INTEGRATION</a></h2>
|
||
<p><em>Integration via daemon mode</em></p>
|
||
<p>The common way to use postfwd is to start it as daemon, listening at a specified tcp port.
|
||
As postfwd will run in a single instance (multiplexing mode), it will take most benefit of
|
||
it`s internal caching in that case. Start postfwd with the following parameters:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -d -f /etc/postfwd.cf -i 127.0.0.1 -p 10040 -u nobody -g nobody -S</pre>
|
||
<p>For efficient caching you should check if you can use the options --cache-rdomain-only, --cache-no-sender
|
||
and --cache-no-size.</p>
|
||
<p>Now check your syslogs (default facility ``mail'') for a line like:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Aug 9 23:00:24 mail postfwd[5158]: postfwd n.nn ready for input</pre>
|
||
<p>and use `netstat -an|grep 10040` to check for something like</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10040 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN</pre>
|
||
<p>If everything works, open your postfix main.cf and insert the following</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
127.0.0.1:10040_time_limit = 3600 <--- integration
|
||
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks <--- recommended
|
||
reject_unauth_destination <--- recommended
|
||
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10040 <--- integration</pre>
|
||
<p>Reload your configuration with `postfix reload` and watch your logs. In it works you should see
|
||
lines like the following in your mail log:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
Aug 9 23:01:24 mail postfwd[5158]: rule=22, id=ML_POSTFIX, client=english-breakfast.cloud9.net[168.100.1.7], sender=owner-postfix-users@postfix.tld, recipient=someone@domain.local, helo=english-breakfast.cloud9.net, proto=ESMTP, state=RCPT, action=dunno</pre>
|
||
<p>If you want to check for size or rcpt_count items you must integrate postfwd in smtp_data_restrictions or
|
||
smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. Of course you can also specify a restriction class and use it in your access
|
||
tables. First create a file /etc/postfix/policy containing:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
domain1.local postfwdcheck
|
||
domain2.local postfwdcheck
|
||
...</pre>
|
||
<p>Then postmap that file (`postmap hash:/etc/postfix/policy`), open your main.cf and enter</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# Restriction Classes
|
||
smtpd_restriction_classes = postfwdcheck, <some more>... <--- integration
|
||
postfwdcheck = check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10040 <--- integration</pre>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
127.0.0.1:10040_time_limit = 3600 <--- integration
|
||
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, <--- recommended
|
||
reject_unauth_destination, <--- recommended
|
||
... <--- optional
|
||
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/policy, <--- integration
|
||
... <--- optional</pre>
|
||
<p>Reload postfix and watch your logs.</p>
|
||
<p><em>Integration via xinetd</em></p>
|
||
<p>There might be several reasons for you to use postfwd via a tcp wrapper package like xinetd (see <a href="http://www.xinetd.org/">http://www.xinetd.org/</a>).
|
||
I won`t discuss that here. If you plan to do so, just add the following line to your /etc/services file:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# postfwd port
|
||
postfwd 10040/tcp</pre>
|
||
<p>Then create a file '/etc/xinetd.d/postfwd':</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
{
|
||
interface = 127.0.0.1
|
||
socket_type = stream
|
||
protocol = tcp
|
||
wait = no
|
||
user = nobody
|
||
server = /usr/local/bin/postfwd
|
||
server_args = -f /etc/postfwd.cf
|
||
disable = no
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
<p>and restart the xinetd daemon (usually a SIGHUP should be fine). If you experience problems
|
||
you might want to check your system's log for xinetd errors like ``socket already in use''.</p>
|
||
<p>The integration with postfix is similar to the <em>Integration via daemon mode</em> section above.
|
||
Reload postfix and watch your logs to see if everything works.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="testing">TESTING</a></h2>
|
||
<p>First you have to create a ruleset (see Configuration section). Check it with</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -f /etc/postfwd.cf -C</pre>
|
||
<p>There is an example policy request distributed with postfwd, called 'request.sample'.
|
||
Simply change it to meet your requirements and use</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
postfwd -f /etc/postfwd.cf <request.sample</pre>
|
||
<p>You should get an answer like</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
action=<whateveryouconfigured></pre>
|
||
<p>For network tests I use netcat:</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
nc 127.0.0.1 10040 <request.sample</pre>
|
||
<p>to send a request to postfwd. If you receive nothing, make sure that postfwd is running and
|
||
listening on the specified network settings.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="performance">PERFORMANCE</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Some of these proposals might not match your environment. Please check your requirements and test new options carefully!</p>
|
||
<p>- use caching options
|
||
- use the correct match operator ==, <=, >=
|
||
- use ^ and $ in regular expressions
|
||
- use item lists (faster than single rules)
|
||
- use <code>set()</code> action on repeated item lists
|
||
- use jump action
|
||
- use pre-lookup rule for rbl/rhsbls with empty <code>note()</code> action</p>
|
||
