I've set up postfix on the main servers in my network with several
anti-UCE configurations.
However , I still get a lot of spam. The analisys of the logs show that
they use my domain in the helo part, so I want to block all the incoming
mail (except from mynetworks) using "helo mydomain". Is this possible?

Here's my postconf -n for my mailqueue (my main server has a similar
configuration):

Somewhere after permit_mynetworks include

check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access

Then in helo_access put something like

dcc.ufmg.br 550 Please use your own hostname for HELO

Depending on your setup how about a header check on the external smtpd

^From:.*\@mydomain\.com REJECT

An actual HELO block would be best:

In main.cf do something like:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_invalid_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
check_helo_access pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks.pcre,
check_recipient_access pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre,
permit

Then inside /etc/postfix/helo_checks.pcre use -

/.+nsecurity\.org/ REJECT Masquerades as my domain name
/localhost/ REJECT Use your own domain name

Obviously, season to taste; just substitute your own domain name stuff...

Is this just not checking against the "HELO" and "EHLO" command which
could be faked ? Or does it actually check the IP of the connecting
server ?

SPF may not be the tool for this. SPF allows the receiver to check the
validity of "mail from" and "helo". However, if the receiver is the owner
of the domain being questioned (and it is!), SPF is not needed at all.
A simple regexp table is working just as well without the additional
problems that DNS could cause.

SPF does not stop the remote end from trying to send. It allows the
local end to query the remote domain name being used. In this example,
the domain name is not remote, it is local. SPF _will_ work, it is just
not efficient.

cheers,
Alex

Where does the check_helo_access fall in you smtpd_recipient_restriction?
I'll assume it's after your "permit_mynetworks"...

These three PCRE HELO checks can be tested as one check:

/local(?=host|domain)/ REJECT Sender MTA not properly configured

But it requires Postfix to be built with a recent PCRE installation.

postmap -q "localhost" pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks.pcre
REJECT Sender MTA not properly configured

postmap -q "localdomain" pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks.pcre
REJECT Sender MTA not properly configured

postmap -q "localhost.localdomain" pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks.pcre
REJECT Sender MTA not properly configured


You could really get mean and reject anything with local in it -

/.+local.+/ REJECT Sender MTA contains BAD WORD local


I would also like to see more PCRE examples in the Postfix 2.1
documentation - but these are things that can be added as time permits...

I've got this for doing mysql lookups on my virtual domains:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
...
check_helo_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_reject_virtual_maps.cf
...

(Although I actually have that as warn_if_reject). And then I use the
same table as for my virtual_mailbox_domains:

,----[ /etc/postfix/mysql_reject_virtual_maps.cf ]
| user = postfix
| password = secret
| hosts = localhost
| dbname = postfix
| table = domain
| where_field = domain
| select_field = '550 You are not me'
| additional_conditions = and active = 1
`----

So basically, that sends the reject message on any active domain I
have listed in my postfix.domain table. Once I get all my users
switched over to doing smtp-auth I'll go ahead and start actually
rejecting on this.

If you don't have them, add them.

Matt,
You have an error in your main.cf, postfix is not accepting mail.
Check your logs for warning|error|fatal messages, they should describe
the problem.

What does the 451 and 554 mean?

What do these bounce notices do?

Why is it that I have a relay_recipient_maps file with
my users listed as : us...@mycomp.com OK but I am
still getting spam at accounting, sales, japleroup
when I do not have those setup?

thanks.

Just a thought but are you sure you are not confusing relay_recipient_maps
with local_recipient_maps ?

Here's what I've got right now...

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
hash:/etc/postfix/protected_destinations,
permit_mynetworks,
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp,
check_helo_access pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks,
reject_unauth_destination

Could probably be more, but I had issues with a lot of false
negatives, and professors tend to get upset when they can't
send or receive messages that they should be able to...

Try and read and learn some more on your own.

Try and read and learn some more on your own.
Wouldn't you rather understand some of this rather than being told all the answers?

I will do that! I had no idea where to look. I did not think typing 451 or 545 into google would get me anywhere :<)

Last line of said file shoud say:

You're both still chasing the wrong problem. He broke his config, which
is why postfix is returning 451 errors.

Wrap your lines at less than 80 characters.

Rob,

thanks for the help guys. I gotta go. Won't be back till Monday, enjoy the rest!

I read 451 I was thinking 450. Default main.cf has 450 settings.

450 - try later
451 - server has issues or is broken - look at /var/log/maillog to see =
why.
55x - piss off please.
