Postfix Selective Sender Addresss Verification

Dec 282009

The idea is selectively probe valid email sender for certain domain that frequently forged by spammer, we should use sender access verification carefully. Much better if we noticing postmaster/admin that we conducting SAv/probing their server for valid user, or otherwise we’ll end up in backscatterer.org list hehehe…

Create smtpd_restriction_class call verify_sender

smtpd_restriction_classes = verify_sender

Define verify_sender so it should reject all unverified email sender, verified one will be permit/pass

verify_sender = reject_unverified_sender, permit

Create has table called frequently_forged_senders to define sender domain that going to be in verification list

check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/frequently_forged_senders

frequently_forged_senders contains

domain1.tld		verify_sender
domain2.tld		verify_sender
domain3.tld		verify_sender

Compiling postfix snapshot (postfix-2.7-20091209) on FreeBSD 6.1

FreeBSD 6.1 only has postfix 2.2.9 in package ports default stock, if i recall correctly. we need downloading source from www.postfix.org

FIrst install all dependencies, In FreeBSD i actually just locate package,cd to package ports directory and then make install clean

e.g :

# locate mysql

This will result bunch of package port directories, for instant we want to install mysql-server, just follow these command accordingly

# locate mysql-server
# cd /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-5.1.6_2
# make install clean

Remember, installing from package ports need internet connection

Do it the same way for all dependencies

Extract Postfix tarball

# tar xvzf postfix-2.7-20091209.tar.gz
# cd postfix-2.7-20091209

Compile and install postfix source

# make makefiles CCARGS="-DFD_SETSIZE=2048 -DHAS_CDB -DHAS_NIS -DSNAPSHOT -I/usr/local/include -DHAS_PCRE -I/usr/local/include -DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/local/include/mysql -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/local/include/sasl -DUSE_TLS -DHAS_SSL -I/usr/include/openssl" AUXLIBS="/usr/local/lib/libcdb.a -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -ldb4 -lpcre -lsasl2 -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread"
# make
# make install

if we need to customize postfix main.cf or master.cf, default configuration will in /etc/postfix/. we can refer to documentations at www.postfix.org site

That’s it 🙂
