Installation eines sicheren Mailservers mit Postfix unter CentOS 6.x

Postfix-LogoFür die eMailkommunikation in unserem SOHO1)-LAN bedienen wir uns des SMTP-Server Postfix. Dies nicht zuletzt, da dieser, im Gegensatz zum Dinosaurier verschrieenen Sendmail wesentlich einfacher zu konfigurieren ist und auch sicherheitstechnische Vorteile bietet.

Die nachfolgende Beschreibung zeigt, wie man unter CentOS 6.x einen Postfix-Mailserver MTA2) aufsetzen und sicher betreiben kann.

Grundvoraussetzung eines jeden Postmasters ist der Besitz und das eingehende, auch mehrmalige Studium des Postfix-Bibel Das Postfix-Buch (ISBN 978-3-937514-50-5) von Peer Heinlein.


Noch besser ist natürlich der Besuch eines Postfix Kurses in der Heinlein Akademie.

Viele der Design und Konfigurationsvorschläge stammen aus Peers Buch. Bei der genaueren Betrachtung der hier gezeigten Konfigurationsdokumentation, werden wir noch über den ein oder anderen Querverweis auf einzelne Seiten und Kapiteln des Buches stoßen.

Die wesentlichen Anforderungen an unsere eigene Mailinfrastruktur sind:

  1. Es werden nur noch eMails angenommen, die auch zugestellt werden können; d.h. unerwünschte bzw. unerlaubte Nachrichten werden geblockt (mit einem Returncode von 5xx abgewiesen).
  2. der Transportweg zwischen den MTAs3) wird SSL-verschlüsselt, soweit möglich.
  3. eMails die unser Netzwerk nach extern verlassen unterliegen der gleichen Qualitäts- (SPAM) und Sicherheitsüberprüfung (Viren und Schadcode) wie ankommende elektronische Post.
  4. abgehende eMails werden mit einer DKIM-Signatur versehen, mit der der Empfänger (MTA) prüfen kann, ob die eMail auch von unserem Mailserver versandt wurde. Somit wird zB. die Reputation gegenüber AOL gesteigert, da dieser ISP eine valide DKIM-Signatur positiv bewertet
  5. Der erste Grob-Virenschutz erfolgt mit Hilfe von postgrey.
  6. Die zweite Prüfung erfolgt mit Unterstützung des Policy-Daemon policyd-weight, der die Mail bei der Einlieferung anhand des Envelope Sender, des Envelope To und der HELO-Daten, die während des SMTP-Handshakes übertragen werden, überprüft.
  7. Eine weitere Prüfung auf erfolgt mit Hilfe von RBHL4) von SPAMHAUS.
  8. Die SPAM-Bewertung der Nachrichten selbst erfolgt mit Hilfe von Spamassassin
  9. Den dritten Teil unserer mehrstufigen Antivirenschutzmaßnahmen (1. Stufe: postgrey. 2. Stufe: policyd-weight) übernimmt der freie Virenscanner ClamAV.

Seit CentOS 6.0 wird nun als MTA Postfix installiert und nicht mehr, wie es unter CentOS 5.x üblich war sendmail. Ein Wechsel des MTAs, wie er unter CentOS 5.x noch notwendig war, bleibt uns nun erspart.

Falls noch nicht bei der Grundinstalltion unseres Hosts erfolgt, installieren wir nun postfix mit Hilfe von yum.

 # yum install postfix -y

Was uns das RPM-Paket alles mitgebracht hat, erkunden wir bei Bedarf mit Hilfe des Befehls rpm -qil.

 # rpm -qil

Zum besseren Verständnis der einzelnen Module und Parameter werfen einfach mal einen Blick unter die Motorhaube unseres 12-Zylinders. ;)

Im weiteren werden wir nun die einzelnen Module und Tabellen genauer betrachten. Zuvor widmen wir aber den beiden Hauptkonfigurationsdateien main.cf und master.cf unsere Aufmerksamkeit.

Der Großteil der Konfiguration von Postfix erfolgt über /etc/postfix/main.cf. Desweiteren spielt die /etc/postfix/master.cf und weitere Dateien eine entscheidende Rolle.

All diese Dateien befinden sich im Konfigurationsverzeichnis /etc/postfix

 # ll /etc/postfix/

Als erstes sehen wir uns die Hauptkonfigurationsdatei /etc/postfix/master.cf etwas genauer an.

Die Steuerung der in der obigen Übersichtskizze dargestellten Module erfolgt mit Hilfe der Konfigurationsdatei master.cf, welches den Postfix-Main-Prozess definiert. Dieser Master-Prozess steuert und überwacht zum einen die einzelnen Postfix-Module, definiert wie viele Instanzen den einzelnen Modulen zugewiesen werden sollen. Zum anderen werden durch den Master-Prozess in regelmäßigen Abständen die Module zum Verwalten und Steuern der Queues gestartet.

Die eigentliche Konfiguration unseres Postfix MTAs erfolgt mit Hilfe der Hauptkonfigurationsdatei main.cf. Diese Konfigurationsdatei ist durch die vielen sehr guten Dokumentationshinweise doch sehr angewachsen, aber im Grunde beschränkt sich diese auf ein paar wenige „aktive“ Zeilen. Die eigentliche Konfigurationsarbeit beschränkt sich auf wenige Zeilen; nicht alle der über 630 Parameter müssen angefasst werden.

 # postconf -d | wc -l
 631

Werfen wir einfach einen Blick in diese Hauptkonfigurationmsdatei /etc/postfix/main.cf.

# Global Postfix configuration file. This file lists only a subset
# of all parameters. For the syntax, and for a complete parameter
# list, see the postconf(5) manual page (command: "man 5 postconf").
#
# For common configuration examples, see BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README
# and STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README. To find these documents, use
# the command "postconf html_directory readme_directory", or go to
# http://www.postfix.org/.
#
# For best results, change no more than 2-3 parameters at a time,
# and test if Postfix still works after every change.
 
# SOFT BOUNCE
#
# The soft_bounce parameter provides a limited safety net for
# testing.  When soft_bounce is enabled, mail will remain queued that
# would otherwise bounce. This parameter disables locally-generated
# bounces, and prevents the SMTP server from rejecting mail permanently
# (by changing 5xx replies into 4xx replies). However, soft_bounce
# is no cure for address rewriting mistakes or mail routing mistakes.

#soft_bounce = no
 
# LOCAL PATHNAME INFORMATION
#
# The queue_directory specifies the location of the Postfix queue.
# This is also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run chrooted.
# See the files in examples/chroot-setup for setting up Postfix chroot

# by the mail_owner account (see below).
#
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
 
# QUEUE AND PROCESS OWNERSHIP
#
# The mail_owner parameter specifies the owner of the Postfix queue
# and of most Postfix daemon processes.  Specify the name of a user
# account THAT DOES NOT SHARE ITS USER OR GROUP ID WITH OTHER ACCOUNTS
# AND THAT OWNS NO OTHER FILES OR PROCESSES ON THE SYSTEM.  In
# particular, don't specify nobody or daemon. PLEASE USE A DEDICATED
# USER.

#
#default_privs = nobody
 
# INTERNET HOST AND DOMAIN NAMES
# 
# The myhostname parameter specifies the internet hostname of this
# mail system. The default is to use the fully-qualified domain name
# from gethostname(). $myhostname is used as a default value for many
# other configuration parameters.

# parameters.
#
#mydomain = domain.tld
 
# SENDING MAIL
# 
# The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted
# mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname,
# which is fine for small sites.  If you run a domain with multiple
# machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up
# a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to
# user@that.users.mailhost.

# RECEIVING MAIL
 
# The inet_interfaces parameter specifies the network interface
# addresses that this mail system receives mail on.  By default,
# the software claims all active interfaces on the machine. The
# parameter also controls delivery of mail to user@[ip.address].
#
# See also the proxy_interfaces parameter, for network addresses that

# The proxy_interfaces parameter specifies the network interface
# addresses that this mail system receives mail on by way of a
# proxy or network address translation unit. This setting extends
# the address list specified with the inet_interfaces parameter.
#
# You must specify your proxy/NAT addresses when your system is a
# backup MX host for other domains, otherwise mail delivery loops
# will happen when the primary MX host is down.
#
#proxy_interfaces =
#proxy_interfaces = 1.2.3.4
 
# The mydestination parameter specifies the list of domains that this
# machine considers itself the final destination for.
#
# These domains are routed to the delivery agent specified with the
# local_transport parameter setting. By default, that is the UNIX
# compatible delivery agent that lookups all recipients in /etc/passwd
# and /etc/aliases or their equivalent.
#
# The default is $myhostname + localhost.$mydomain.  On a mail domain
# gateway, you should also include $mydomain.
#
# Do not specify the names of virtual domains - those domains are
# specified elsewhere (see VIRTUAL_README).
#
# Do not specify the names of domains that this machine is backup MX
# host for. Specify those names via the relay_domains settings for
# the SMTP server, or use permit_mx_backup if you are lazy (see
# STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README).
#
# The local machine is always the final destination for mail addressed
# to user@[the.net.work.address] of an interface that the mail system
# receives mail on (see the inet_interfaces parameter).
#
# Specify a list of host or domain names, /file/name or type:table
# patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. A /file/name
# pattern is replaced by its contents; a type:table is matched when
# a name matches a lookup key (the right-hand side is ignored).

# REJECTING MAIL FOR UNKNOWN LOCAL USERS
#
# The local_recipient_maps parameter specifies optional lookup tables
# with all names or addresses of users that are local with respect
# to $mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
#
# If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject
# mail for unknown local users. This parameter is defined by default.
#
# To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify
# local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty).
#
# The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
# delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
# local_recipient_maps setting if:
#
# - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
#   /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
#   For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in    
#   the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.
#
# - You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
#
# - You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
#
# - You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport"
#   feature of the Postfix local delivery agent (see local(8)).
#
# Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.
#
# Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you probably have
# to access the passwd file via the proxymap service, in order to
# overcome chroot restrictions. The alternative, having a copy of
# the system passwd file in the chroot jail is just not practical.
#
# The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored.
# In the left-hand side, specify a bare username, an @domain.tld
# wild-card, or specify a user@domain.tld address.

# response code when a recipient domain matches $mydestination or
# ${proxy,inet}_interfaces, while $local_recipient_maps is non-empty
# and the recipient address or address local-part is not found.
#
# The default setting is 550 (reject mail) but it is safer to start
# with 450 (try again later) until you are certain that your

# TRUST AND RELAY CONTROL
 
# The mynetworks parameter specifies the list of "trusted" SMTP
# clients that have more privileges than "strangers".
#
# In particular, "trusted" SMTP clients are allowed to relay mail
# through Postfix.  See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter
# in postconf(5).
#
# You can specify the list of "trusted" network addresses by hand
# or you can let Postfix do it for you (which is the default).
#
# By default (mynetworks_style = subnet), Postfix "trusts" SMTP
# clients in the same IP subnetworks as the local machine.
# On Linux, this does works correctly only with interfaces specified
# with the "ifconfig" command.
# 
# Specify "mynetworks_style = class" when Postfix should "trust" SMTP
# clients in the same IP class A/B/C networks as the local machine.
# Don't do this with a dialup site - it would cause Postfix to "trust"
# your entire provider's network.  Instead, specify an explicit
# mynetworks list by hand, as described below.
#  
# Specify "mynetworks_style = host" when Postfix should "trust"
# only the local machine.
# 
#mynetworks_style = class
#mynetworks_style = subnet
#mynetworks_style = host
 
# Alternatively, you can specify the mynetworks list by hand, in
# which case Postfix ignores the mynetworks_style setting.
#
# Specify an explicit list of network/netmask patterns, where the
# mask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host
# address.
#
# You can also specify the absolute pathname of a pattern file instead
# of listing the patterns here. Specify type:table for table-based lookups
# (the value on the table right-hand side is not used).

# The relay_domains parameter restricts what destinations this system will
# relay mail to.  See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions description in
# postconf(5) for detailed information.
#
# By default, Postfix relays mail
# - from "trusted" clients (IP address matches $mynetworks) to any destination,
# - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or
#   subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing.
# The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
# 
# In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail
# that Postfix is final destination for:
# - destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces,
# - destinations that match $mydestination
# - destinations that match $virtual_alias_domains,
# - destinations that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
# These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains.
# 
# Specify a list of hosts or domains, /file/name patterns or type:name
# lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace.  Continue
# long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A file name
# is replaced by its contents; a type:name table is matched when a
# (parent) domain appears as lookup key.
#
# NOTE: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains that
# list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the
# permit_mx_backup restriction description in postconf(5).
#
#relay_domains = $mydestination
 
# INTERNET OR INTRANET
 
# The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to
# when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When
# no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
#
# On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
# internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
# gateway host instead.
#
# In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
# [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.

# INPUT RATE CONTROL
#
# The in_flow_delay configuration parameter implements mail input
# flow control. This feature is turned on by default, although it
# still needs further development (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due
# to an SCO bug).
# 
# A Postfix process will pause for $in_flow_delay seconds before
# accepting a new message, when the message arrival rate exceeds the
# message delivery rate. With the default 100 SMTP server process
# limit, this limits the mail inflow to 100 messages a second more
# than the number of messages delivered per second.

# ALIAS DATABASE
#
# The alias_maps parameter specifies the list of alias databases used
# by the local delivery agent. The default list is system dependent.
#
# On systems with NIS, the default is to search the local alias
# database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax
# details.
# 
# If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or
# wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run
# "newaliases" to build the necessary DBM or DB file.
#
# It will take a minute or so before changes become visible.  Use
# "postfix reload" to eliminate the delay.
#
#alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
#alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
#alias_maps = netinfo:/aliases
 
# The alias_database parameter specifies the alias database(s) that
# are built with "newaliases" or "sendmail -bi".  This is a separate
# configuration parameter, because alias_maps (see above) may specify
# tables that are not necessarily all under control by Postfix.
#
#alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases
#alias_database = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
#alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases
 
# ADDRESS EXTENSIONS (e.g., user+foo)
#
# The recipient_delimiter parameter specifies the separator between
# user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5),
# local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on
# aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and .forward file lookups.
# Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before
# trying user and .forward.
#
#recipient_delimiter = +
 
# DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#
# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a
# mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default
# mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user.  Specify
# "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required).
#
#home_mailbox = Mailbox
#home_mailbox = Maildir/
 
# The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where
# UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the
# system type.
#
#mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
#mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
 
# The mailbox_command parameter specifies the optional external
# command to use instead of mailbox delivery. The command is run as
# the recipient with proper HOME, SHELL and LOGNAME environment settings.
# Exception:  delivery for root is done as $default_user.
#
# Other environment variables of interest: USER (recipient username),
# EXTENSION (address extension), DOMAIN (domain part of address),
# and LOCAL (the address localpart).
#
# Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command
# parameter is not subjected to $parameter substitutions. This is to
# make it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below).
#
# Avoid shell meta characters because they will force Postfix to run
# an expensive shell process. Procmail alone is expensive enough.
#
# IF YOU USE THIS TO DELIVER MAIL SYSTEM-WIDE, YOU MUST SET UP AN
# ALIAS THAT FORWARDS MAIL FOR ROOT TO A REAL USER.
#
#mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail
#mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
 
# The mailbox_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf
# to use after processing aliases and .forward files. This parameter
# has precedence over the mailbox_command, fallback_transport and
# luser_relay parameters.
#
# Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is
# the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.  The
# :nexthop part is optional. For more details see the sample transport
# configuration file.
#
# NOTE: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password
# file, then you must update the "local_recipient_maps" setting in
# the main.cf file, otherwise the SMTP server will reject mail for    
# non-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table".
#
#mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
 
# If using the cyrus-imapd IMAP server deliver local mail to the IMAP

# local_destination_concurrency_limit = 5
#
# Of course you should adjust these settings as appropriate for the

# can be used to take advantage of the single instance message store
# capability of Cyrus. The concurrency limit can be used to control
# how many simultaneous LMTP sessions will be permitted to the Cyrus
# message store. 
#
# To use the old cyrus deliver program you have to set:

# JUNK MAIL CONTROLS
# 
# The controls listed here are only a very small subset. The file

# The header_checks parameter specifies an optional table with patterns
# that each logical message header is matched against, including
# headers that span multiple physical lines.
#
# By default, these patterns also apply to MIME headers and to the

# "ETRN domain.tld" command, or by executing "sendmail -qRdomain.tld".
# See the ETRN_README document for a detailed description.

#fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains
 
# SHOW SOFTWARE VERSION OR NOT
#
# The smtpd_banner parameter specifies the text that follows the 220
# code in the SMTP server's greeting banner. Some people like to see

# PARALLEL DELIVERY TO THE SAME DESTINATION
#
# How many parallel deliveries to the same user or domain? With local

Mit Hilfe des Programms postconf können wir während des laufenden Betriebes einzelnen Parameter, abfragen und auch ändern. Wollen wir uns alle Definitionen ansehen, die von den Standardvorgaben abweichen, verwenden wir den folgenden Aufruf:

# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
inet_protocols = ipv4
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost, localhost.$mydomain
myhostname = mx1.nausch.org
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
relayhost = nss.nausch.org
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

Möchten wir nun einen einzelne Variable abfragen, die nicht den Defaultvorgaben entspricht benutzen wir im Fall von myorigin den folgenden Aufruf.

 # postconf -d myorigin
 myorigin = $myhostname

Wollen wir einen Parameter ändern, so benutzen wir die Option -e. Als erstes fragen wir den wert einer Variable, im folgenden Beispiel von smtpd_client_connection_count_limit.

 # postconf -d smtpd_client_connection_count_limit
 smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 50

Den Defaulwert von 50 ändern wir nun ab auf den Wert 10.

 # postconf -e "smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 25"

Anschließend muss via service postfix reload der laufende Daemon noch von der Änderung an der main.cf informiert werden.

Auf die wichtigsten Konfigurationsparameter für den Betrieb unseres Mailservers gehen wir nun kurz ein:

  • myhostname
    Definition des Hostnames, über den der Mailserver später erreichbar sein wird. Die IP-Adresse des Mailservers muss später auch reverse auf gelöst werden könnne und dem hier definiertem Hostnamen entsprechen.
  • mydomain
    Definition der eigenen Domäne. Normalerweise, wird man diesen Wert nie setzen müssen, da der Wert automatisch vom Parameter myhostname abgeleitet wird, in dem der Host-Teil abgetrennt wird. Aus myhostname = mx1.nausch.org wird so nausch.org, ohne dasss wir extra Hand anlegen müssen. Den Parameter mydomain wird man also nur setzen müssen, wenn der Wert vom Domain-Teil des Parameters myhostname abweicht!
  • mydestination Über diesen Parameter wird definiert, für welche Domains sich unser Postfix als final destination fühlt; der MTA also eigentlich eMails annehmen soll. Normalerweise wird dies neben dem Wert localhost der Domain und Hostname des Servers sein.
    Der Parameter mydestination beschreibt nur den realen Hostnamen sowie der realen Domäne des Mailservers. Möchte man virtuelle Domänen verwenden, definiert man diese mit Hilfe der virtual-table und nicht bei mydestination!
  • myorigin Werden eMails lokal auf dem Mailserverhost generiert, erzeugt Postfix „richtige eMAiladressen“, in dem der Mailserver den User-Namen bzw. die User-ID mit dem Wert aus $myorigin ergänzt. Der Defaultwert myorigin = $mydomain bewirkt also, dass eine eMail von root auf unserem Host mx1.nausch.org die eMailadresse root@nausch.org erhält. Möchte man z.B. für DMZ-interne eMails in der eMailadresse direkt den Hostnamen mit angeben, so wird man hier statt $mydomain $myhostname angeben; somit würde dann die Adresse logwatch@pml010043.intra.nausch.org statt logwatch@nausch.org generiert.
  • mynetworks
    Muss man mehrere verschiedene Netzbereiche, oder einzelne Hosts zum sicheren Relayen freischalten, dann müssen die einzelnen Netzbereiche, bzw. Hosts über den Parameter mynetworks definiert werden. 10.10.10.0/24 beschreibt so ein ganzes Netz, 10.0.0.10/32 hingegen nur einen einzelnen Host.
  • mynetworks_style
    Festlegung des Netzes oder des Netzbereiches, die unser Postfix als vertrauenswürdig betrachten soll. Host aus diesem Netzbereichen ist es gestattet, eMails an externe Empfänger einzuliefern, die unser MTA dann wiederum ausliefern wird. class, host und subnet (Defaulteinstellung) können hier ausgewählt werden.
  • inet_interfaces
    Festlegung der Netzwerk-Adresse, von denen der Mailserver Verbindungen annehmen soll. Bei einfachen Workstations wird man hier den Vorgabewert localhost belassen. Wollen wir einen richtigen Mailserver betreiben, so definieren wir hier entweder direkt sine IP-Adresse, oder geben das Schlüsselwort all für alle Netzwerkschnittstellen an.
  • inet_protocols
    Festlegung des verwendeten Internetprotokolles, abhängig von der Serverkonfiguration selbst. Wurde der IPv6-Support deaktiviert, so definiert man hier entsprechend die Option inet_protocols = ipv4.
  • smtp_banner
    Definition des Begrüßungstextes, den der Mailserver nach dem Aufbau eingehender Verbindungenvon externen Mailservern ausgibt. Hier wird man i.d.R. aus Sicherheitsgründen lediglich den Hostnamen und den Namen des Mailservers preis geben, nicht aber Versionsangaben oder weiteres.

Neben den beiden vorgenannten Hauptkonfigurationsdateien main.cf und master.cf finden wir im Konfigurationsverzeichnis /etc/postfix noch ein paar Lockup-Tabellen.

 # ll /etc/postfix/
total 140
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19579 Dec  3 06:00 access

  • canonical
  • generic
  • relocated
  • transport
  • virtual

Den Umgang mit diesen access- und lookup-Tabellen ist im Kapitel Grundabsicherung von Postfix detailliert beschrieben.

Möchte man Informationen im Mailheader zum Bewerten verwenden, um so z.B. eine Nachricht zu blocken, kann man dies mit Hilfe der Konfigurationsdatei header_checks realisieren.

/etc/postfix/header_checks
# HEADER_CHECKS(5)                                              HEADER_CHECKS(5)
# 
# NAME
#        header_checks - Postfix built-in content inspection
# 
# SYNOPSIS
#        header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks
#        mime_header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks
#        nested_header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/nested_header_checks
#        body_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/body_checks
# 
#        postmap -q "string" pcre:/etc/postfix/filename
#        postmap -q - pcre:/etc/postfix/filename <inputfile
# 
# DESCRIPTION
#        This  document  describes access control on the content of
#        message headers and message body lines; it is  implemented
#        by  the  Postfix  cleanup(8) server before mail is queued.
#        See access(5) for access control  on  remote  SMTP  client
#        information.
# 
#        Each  message  header  or  message  body  line is compared
#        against a list of patterns.  When a  match  is  found  the
#        corresponding action is executed, and the matching process
#        is repeated for the next message header  or  message  body
#        line.
# 
#        For  examples, see the EXAMPLES section at the end of this
#        manual page.
# 
#        Postfix header or body_checks are designed to stop a flood
#        of  mail from worms or viruses; they do not decode attach-
#        ments, and they do not unzip archives. See  the  documents
#        referenced  below  in the README FILES section if you need
#        more sophisticated content analysis.
# 
#        Postfix supports four built-in content inspection classes:
# 
#        header_checks
#               These   are  applied  to  initial  message  headers
#               (except for the headers  that  are  processed  with
#               mime_header_checks).
# 
#        mime_header_checks (default: $header_checks)
#               These  are  applied to MIME related message headers
#               only.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
# 
#        nested_header_checks (default: $header_checks)
#               These  are  applied  to message headers of attached
#               email messages (except for  the  headers  that  are
#               processed with mime_header_checks).
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
# 
#        body_checks
#               These are applied to all other  content,  including
#               multi-part message boundaries.
# 
#               With Postfix versions before 2.0, all content after
#               the initial message headers is treated as body con-
#               tent.
# 
#        Note: message headers are examined one logical header at a
#        time, even when a message  header  spans  multiple  lines.
#        Body lines are always examined one line at a time.
# 
# COMPATIBILITY
#        With Postfix version 2.2 and earlier specify "postmap -fq"
#        to query a table that contains case sensitive patterns. By
#        default,  regexp: and pcre: patterns are case insensitive.
# 
# TABLE FORMAT
#        This document assumes that header  and  body_checks  rules
#        are  specified  in  the form of Postfix regular expression
#        lookup tables. Usually the best  performance  is  obtained
#        with pcre (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) tables, but
#        the slower regexp (POSIX regular expressions)  support  is
#        more  widely  available.  Use the command "postconf -m" to
#        find out what lookup table types your Postfix system  sup-
#        ports.
# 
#        The general format of Postfix regular expression tables is
#        given below.  For a  discussion  of  specific  pattern  or
#        flags   syntax,   see  pcre_table(5)  or  regexp_table(5),
#        respectively.
# 
#        /pattern/flags action
#               When /pattern/ matches the  input  string,  execute
#               the  corresponding  action. See below for a list of
#               possible actions.
# 
#        !/pattern/flags action
#               When /pattern/ does not  match  the  input  string,
#               execute the corresponding action.
# 
#        if /pattern/flags
# 
#        endif  Match the input string against the patterns between
#               if and endif, if and only if the same input  string
#               also matches /pattern/. The if..endif can nest.
# 
#               Note:  do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
#               if..endif.
# 
#        if !/pattern/flags
# 
#        endif  Match the input string against the patterns between
#               if  and endif, if and only if the same input string
#               does not match /pattern/. The if..endif can nest.
# 
#        blank lines and comments
#               Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are  ignored,
#               as  are  lines whose first non-whitespace character
#               is a `#'.
# 
#        multi-line text
#               A pattern/action line  starts  with  non-whitespace
#               text.  A line that starts with whitespace continues
#               a logical line.
# 
# TABLE SEARCH ORDER
#        For each line of message input, the patterns  are  applied
#        in  the order as specified in the table. When a pattern is
#        found that  matches  the  input  line,  the  corresponding
#        action  is  executed  and  then  the  next  input  line is
#        inspected.
# 
# TEXT SUBSTITUTION
#        Substitution of substrings  from  the  matched  expression
#        into  the action string is possible using the conventional
#        Perl syntax ($1, $2, etc.).   The  macros  in  the  result
#        string  may  need  to  be  written as ${n} or $(n) if they
#        aren't followed by whitespace.
# 
#        Note: since negated patterns (those preceded by !)  return
#        a result when the expression does not match, substitutions
#        are not available for negated patterns.
# 
# ACTIONS
#        Action names are case insensitive. They are shown in upper
#        case for consistency with other Postfix documentation.
# 
#        DISCARD optional text...
#               Claim  successful delivery and silently discard the
#               message.  Log the optional text if specified,  oth-
#               erwise log a generic message.
# 
#               Note:   this  action  disables  further  header  or
#               body_checks inspection of the current  message  and
#               affects all recipients.  To discard only one recip-
#               ient without discarding the entire message, use the
#               transport(5) table to direct mail to the discard(8)
#               service.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
# 
#        DUNNO  Pretend  that the input line did not match any pat-
#               tern, and inspect the next input line. This  action
#               can be used to shorten the table search.
# 
#               For  backwards  compatibility reasons, Postfix also
#               accepts OK but it is (and always has been)  treated
#               as DUNNO.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
# 
#        FILTER transport:destination
#               Write a content filter request to the  queue  file,
#               and  inspect  the  next input line.  After the com-
#               plete message is received it will be  sent  through
#               the specified external content filter.  More infor-
#               mation about external content  filters  is  in  the
#               Postfix FILTER_README file.
# 
#               Note: this action overrides the content_filter set-
#               ting, and affects all recipients of the message. In
#               the  case  that  multiple FILTER actions fire, only
#               the last one is executed.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
# 
#        HOLD optional text...
#               Arrange  for  the  message to be placed on the hold
#               queue, and inspect the next input line.   The  mes-
#               sage  remains  on hold until someone either deletes
#               it or releases it for delivery.  Log  the  optional
#               text if specified, otherwise log a generic message.
# 
#               Mail that is placed on hold can  be  examined  with
#               the  postcat(1)  command,  and  can be destroyed or
#               released with the postsuper(1) command.
# 
#               Note: use "postsuper -r" to release mail  that  was
#               kept  on  hold for a significant fraction of $maxi-
#               mal_queue_lifetime  or  $bounce_queue_lifetime,  or
#               longer.  Use "postsuper -H" only for mail that will
#               not expire within a few delivery attempts.
# 
#               Note: this action affects  all  recipients  of  the
#               message.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
# 
#        IGNORE Delete the current line from the input, and inspect
#               the next input line.
# 
#        PREPEND text...
#               Prepend  one  line  with  the  specified  text, and
#               inspect the next input line.
# 
#               Notes:
# 
#               o      The prepended text is output on  a  separate
#                      line,  immediately  before  the  input  that
#                      triggered the PREPEND action.
# 
#               o      The prepended text is not considered part of
#                      the  input  stream:  it  is  not  subject to
#                      header/body checks or address rewriting, and
#                      it does not affect the way that Postfix adds
#                      missing message headers.
# 
#               o      When prepending text before a message header
#                      line,  the  prepended text must begin with a
#                      valid message header label.
# 
#               o      This action cannot be used to prepend multi-
#                      line text.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
# 
#        REDIRECT user@domain
#               Write a message redirection request  to  the  queue
#               file,  and  inspect  the next input line. After the
#               message is queued, it will be sent to the specified
#               address instead of the intended recipient(s).
# 
#               Note:  this action overrides the FILTER action, and
#               affects all recipients of the message. If  multiple
#               REDIRECT  actions  fire,  only the last one is exe-
#               cuted.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
# 
#        REPLACE text...
#               Replace  the  current line with the specified text,
#               and inspect the next input line.
# 
#               This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
#               The  description below applies to Postfix 2.2.2 and
#               later.
# 
#               Notes:
# 
#               o      When replacing a message  header  line,  the
#                      replacement  text  must  begin  with a valid
#                      header label.
# 
#               o      The replaced text remains part of the  input
#                      stream.  Unlike  the result from the PREPEND
#                      action, a replaced  message  header  may  be
#                      subject  to address rewriting and may affect
#                      the way that Postfix  adds  missing  message
#                      headers.
# 
#        REJECT optional text...
#               Reject  the  entire  message.  Reply  with optional
#               text... when the optional text is specified, other-
#               wise reply with a generic error message.
# 
#               Note:   this  action  disables  further  header  or
#               body_checks inspection of the current  message  and
#               affects all recipients.
# 
#               Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced sta-
#               tus codes.  When no code is specified at the begin-
#               ning of optional text..., Postfix inserts a default
#               enhanced status code of "5.7.1".
# 
#        WARN optional text...
#               Log a warning with the optional text... (or  log  a
#               generic  message), and inspect the next input line.
#               This action is useful for debugging and for testing
#               a pattern before applying more drastic actions.
# 
# BUGS
#        Empty lines never match, because some map types mis-behave
#        when given a zero-length search string.   This  limitation
#        may  be  removed for regular expression tables in a future
#        release.
# 
#        Many people overlook the main limitations  of  header  and
#        body_checks rules.
# 
#        o      These  rules  operate on one logical message header
#               or one body line at a time. A decision made for one
#               line is not carried over to the next line.
# 
#        o      If  text  in the message body is encoded (RFC 2045)
#               then the rules need to be specified for the encoded
#               form.
# 
#        o      Likewise,  when  message  headers  are encoded (RFC
#               2047) then the rules need to be specified  for  the
#               encoded form.
# 
#        Message  headers added by the cleanup(8) daemon itself are
#        excluded from inspection. Examples of such message headers
#        are From:, To:, Message-ID:, Date:.
# 
#        Message  headers  deleted by the cleanup(8) daemon will be
#        examined before they are deleted. Examples are: Bcc:, Con-
#        tent-Length:, Return-Path:.
# 
# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
#        body_checks
#               Lookup tables with content filter rules for message
#               body lines.  These filters see one physical line at
#               a  time,  in  chunks  of at most $line_length_limit
#               bytes.
# 
#        body_checks_size_limit
#               The amount of  content  per  message  body  segment
#               (attachment) that is subjected to $body_checks fil-
#               tering.
# 
#        header_checks
# 
#        mime_header_checks (default: $header_checks)
# 
#        nested_header_checks (default: $header_checks)
#               Lookup tables with content filter rules for message
#               header  lines:  respectively,  these are applied to
#               the initial message  headers  (not  including  MIME
#               headers),  to the MIME headers anywhere in the mes-
#               sage, and to the initial headers of  attached  mes-
#               sages.
# 
#               Note:  these filters see one logical message header
#               at a time, even when a message header spans  multi-
#               ple  lines.  Message  headers  that are longer than
#               $header_size_limit characters are truncated.
# 
#        disable_mime_input_processing
#               While receiving mail, give no special treatment  to
#               MIME  related  message  headers; all text after the
#               initial message headers is considered to be part of
#               the  message body. This means that header_checks is
#               applied to all the  initial  message  headers,  and
#               that body_checks is applied to the remainder of the
#               message.
# 
#               Note: when used in this  manner,  body_checks  will
#               process  a  multi-line message header one line at a
#               time.
# 
# EXAMPLES
#        Header pattern to block attachments  with  bad  file  name
#        extensions.   For  convenience, the PCRE /x flag is speci-
#        fied, so that there is no need  to  collapse  the  pattern
#        into   a   single  line  of  text.   The  purpose  of  the
#        [[:xdigit:]] sub-expressions is to recognize Windows CLSID
#        strings.

Wie dies im Detail von Statten geht werden wir uns in einem separaten Schritt Grundabsicherung von Postfix noch genauer ansehen.

In der Regel wird unser SMTP-Server hinter einer Firewall stehen und mit Hilfe von iptables abgesichert sein. Damit nun unser SMTP-Mailserver Anfragen auf dem Port 25 auch annehmen kann, tragen wir in der zentralen Konfigurationsdatei /etc/sysconfig/iptables von iptables am Ende der INPUT-Regeln nachfolgende Zeilen ein.

 vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables
 # Django : 2011-12-08 Port 25 (SMTP) freigeschaltet
 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
 # end

Anschließend aktivieren wir die Änderungen an unserem Paketfilter, indem wir den Daemon durchstarten.

 # service iptables restart
 iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]
 iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter          [  OK  ]
 iptables: Unloading modules:                               [  OK  ]
 iptables: Applying firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]

In RPM wird uns ein Startupscript mitgeliefert - über dieses starten wir unseren SMTP-Server.

 # service postfix start
 Starting postfix:                                          [  OK  ]

Ob der Server läuft können wir einfach überprüfen.

 # netstat -tulpen | grep 25
 tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      0          11417      1893/master

Oder:

 # lsof -i tcp:smtp
 COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
 master  1893 root   12u  IPv4  11417      0t0  TCP localhost:smtp (LISTEN)

Als weiteren Test verbinden wir uns einfach mit Hilfe des Befehles telnet auf Port 25. Anschließend verlassen wir mit dem Befehl quit einfach wieder den SMTP-Server.

 # telnet localhost 25
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 quit
 221 2.0.0 Bye
 Connection closed by foreign host.

Damit nun unser SMTP-Mailserver beim Booten automatisch gestartet wird, nehmen wir noch folgende Konfigurationsschritte vor.

 # chkconfig postfix on

Anschließend überprüfen wir noch unsere Änderung:

 # chkconfig --list | grep postfix
 postfix       	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

Unsere erste Testmail verschicken wir dann von Hand und Verfolgen das Ergebnis im /var/log/maillog.

 # telnet localhost 25
HELO localhost
MAIL FROM: root@localhost
RCPT TO: django@localhost
DATA
From: root@localhost
To: django@localhost
Subject: erste Testmail

Dies ist unsere erste Testmail
