#!/bin/bash # # Postfix (SMTP) # -------------- # # Postfix handles the transmission of email between servers # using the SMTP protocol. It is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). # # Postfix listens on port 25 (SMTP) for incoming mail from # other servers on the Internet. It is responsible for very # basic email filtering such as by IP address and greylisting, # it checks that the destination address is valid, rewrites # destinations according to aliases, and passses email on to # another service for local mail delivery. # # The first hop in local mail delivery is to Spamassassin via # LMTP. Spamassassin then passes mail over to Dovecot for # storage in the user's mailbox. # # Postfix also listens on port 587 (SMTP+STARTLS) for # connections from users who can authenticate and then sends # their email out to the outside world. Postfix queries Dovecot # to authenticate users. # # Address validation, alias rewriting, and user authentication # is configured in a separate setup script mail-users.sh # because of the overlap of this part with the Dovecot # configuration. source setup/functions.sh # load our functions source /etc/mailinabox.conf # load global vars # ### Install packages. # Install postfix's packages. # # * `postfix`: The SMTP server. # * `postfix-pcre`: Enables header filtering. # * `postgrey`: A mail policy service that soft-rejects mail the first time # it is received. Spammers don't usually try agian. Legitimate mail # always will. # * `ca-certificates`: A trust store used to squelch postfix warnings about # untrusted opportunistically-encrypted connections. echo "Installing Postfix (SMTP server)..." apt_install postfix postfix-sqlite postfix-pcre postgrey ca-certificates # ### Basic Settings # Set some basic settings... # # * Have postfix listen on all network interfaces. # * Make outgoing connections on a particular interface (if multihomed) so that SPF passes on the receiving side. # * Set our name (the Debian default seems to be "localhost" but make it our hostname). # * Set the name of the local machine to localhost, which means xxx@localhost is delivered locally, although we don't use it. # * Set the SMTP banner (which must have the hostname first, then anything). tools/editconf.py /etc/postfix/main.cf \ inet_interfaces=all \ smtp_bind_address=$PRIVATE_IP \ smtp_bind_address6=$PRIVATE_IPV6 \ myhostname=$PRIMARY_HOSTNAME\ smtpd_banner="\$myhostname ESMTP Hi, I'm a Mail-in-a-Box (Ubuntu/Postfix; see https://mailinabox.email/)" \ mydestination=localhost # Tweak some queue settings: # * Inform users when their e-mail delivery is delayed more than 3 hours (default is not to warn). # * Stop trying to send an undeliverable e-mail after 2 days (instead of 5), and for bounce messages just try for 1 day. tools/editconf.py /etc/postfix/main.cf \ delay_warning_time=3h \ maximal_queue_lifetime=2d \ bounce_queue_lifetime=1d # ### Outgoing Mail # Enable the 'submission' port 587 smtpd server and tweak its settings. # # * Enable authentication. It's disabled globally so that it is disabled on port 25, # so we need to explicitly enable it here. # * Do not add the OpenDMAC Authentication-Results header. That should only be added # on incoming mail. Omit the OpenDMARC milter by re-setting smtpd_milters to the # OpenDKIM milter only. See dkim.sh. # * Even though we dont allow auth over non-TLS connections (smtpd_tls_auth_only below, and without auth the client cant # send outbound mail), don't allow non-TLS mail submission on this port anyway to prevent accidental misconfiguration. # * Require the best ciphers for incoming connections per http://baldric.net/2013/12/07/tls-ciphers-in-postfix-and-dovecot/. # By putting this setting here we leave opportunistic TLS on incoming mail at default cipher settings (any cipher is better than none). # * Give it a different name in syslog to distinguish it from the port 25 smtpd server. # * Add a new cleanup service specific to the submission service ('authclean') # that filters out privacy-sensitive headers on mail being sent out by # authenticated users. By default Postfix also applies this to attached # emails but we turn this off by setting nested_header_checks empty. tools/editconf.py /etc/postfix/master.cf -s -w \ "submission=inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o syslog_name=postfix/submission -o smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:8891 -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_tls_ciphers=high -o smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers=aNULL,DES,3DES,MD5,DES+MD5,RC4 -o smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols=!SSLv2,!SSLv3 -o cleanup_service_name=authclean" \ "authclean=unix n - - - 0 cleanup -o header_checks=pcre:/etc/postfix/outgoing_mail_header_filters -o nested_header_checks=" # Install the `outgoing_mail_header_filters` file required by the new 'authclean' service. cp conf/postfix_outgoing_mail_header_filters /etc/postfix/outgoing_mail_header_filters # Modify the `outgoing_mail_header_filters` file to use the local machine name and ip # on the first received header line.

Postfix will # accept whatever SSL certificate the remote end provides. Opportunistic TLS # protects against passive easvesdropping (but not man-in-the-middle attacks). # DANE takes this a step further: # # Postfix queries DNS for the TLSA record on the destination MX host. If no TLSA records are found, # then opportunistic TLS is used. Otherwise the server certificate must match the TLSA records # or else the mail bounces. TLSA also requires DNSSEC on the MX host. Postfix doesn't do DNSSEC # itself but assumes the system's nameserver does and reports DNSSEC status. Thus this also # relies on our local DNS server (see system.sh) and `smtp_dns_support_level=dnssec`. # # The `smtp_tls_CAfile` is superflous, but it eliminates warnings in the logs about untrusted certs, # which we don't care about seeing because Postfix is doing opportunistic TLS anyway. Better to encrypt, # even if we don't know if it's to the right party, than to not encrypt at all. Instead we'll # now see notices about trusted certs.

Some basic filters. # # * `reject_non_fqdn_sender`: Reject not-nice-looking return paths. # * `reject_unknown_sender_domain`: Reject return paths with invalid domains. # * `reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch`: Reject if mail FROM address does not match the client SASL login # * `reject_rhsbl_sender`: Reject return paths that use blacklisted domains. # * `permit_sasl_authenticated`: Authenticated users (i.e. on port 587) can skip further checks. # * `permit_mynetworks`: Mail that originates locally can skip further checks. # * `reject_rbl_client`: Reject connections from IP addresses blacklisted in zen.spamhaus.org # * `reject_unlisted_recipient`: Although Postfix will reject mail to unknown recipients, it's nicer to reject such mail ahead of greylisting rather than after. # * `check_policy_service`: Apply greylisting using postgrey. # # Notes: #NODOC # permit_dnswl_client can pass through mail from whitelisted IP addresses, which would be good to put before greylisting #NODOC # so these IPs get mail delivered quickly. But when an IP is not listed in the permit_dnswl_client list (i.e. it is not #NODOC # whitelisted) then postfix does a DEFER_IF_REJECT, which results in all "unknown user" sorts of messages turning into #NODOC # "450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: Service unavailable".
