# Manage iRedAPD (white/blacklists, greylisting, and more)
|
|
|
|
[TOC]
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
|
|
All iRedAPD features listed in current page can be managed with our
|
|
web-based admin panel - [iRedAdmin-Pro](../admin_panel.html).
|
|
|
|
## Introduce iRedAPD
|
|
|
|
iRedAPD is a simple Postfix policy server, written in Python, with plugin
|
|
support. it listens on port `7777` by default, and runs as a low-privileged
|
|
user `iredapd`.
|
|
|
|
## How to disable iRedAPD service
|
|
|
|
To disable iRedAPD service:
|
|
|
|
1. please remove all `check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:7777` in Postfix config file
|
|
`/etc/postfix/main.cf` (Linux/OpenBSD) or `/usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf`
|
|
(FreeBSD).
|
|
1. Restart or reload Postfix service.
|
|
1. Disable iredapd service.
|
|
|
|
## How to enable or disable iRedAPD plugins
|
|
|
|
iRedAPD plugin is Python file under `/opt/iredapd/plugins/` directory. To
|
|
enable a plugin, please find line `plugins =` in iRedAPD config file
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/settings.py`, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
plugins = ['reject_null_sender', 'amavisd_wblist', 'greylisting', 'throttle']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to enable plugin `reject_sender_login_mismatch` (file
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/plugins/reject_sender_login_mismatch.py`), please add the plugin
|
|
name in `plugins =` like below, and restart iRedAPD service:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
plugins = ['reject_null_sender', 'amavisd_wblist', 'greylisting', 'throttle', 'reject_sender_login_mismatch']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The priorities of plugins shipped in iRedAPD are hard-coded, so the order of
|
|
plugin name in `plugins =` doesn't matter.
|
|
|
|
To disable a plugin, just remove the plugin name and restart iRedAPD service.
|
|
|
|
## How to add custom settings
|
|
|
|
iRedAPD has some default settings in file
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/libs/default_settings.py`, but you should never modify it.
|
|
Instead, you should copy the settings you want to modify from
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/libs/default_settings.py` to `/opt/iredapd/settings.py`, then
|
|
update it with new values. This way you will keep custom settings after
|
|
upgrading iRedAPD -- because iRedAPD upgrade tool will copy
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/settings.py` to new iRedAPD release during upgrading.
|
|
|
|
## Feature: Sender address control
|
|
|
|
Plugin `reject_sender_login_mismatch` will reject emails if:
|
|
|
|
* smtp authentication username (`sasl_username`) is different than than sender address (`From:`). This is usually called `sender login mismatch`. Note: This can be performed by Postfix with restriction rule `reject_sender_login_mismatch` in `smtpd_sender_restrictions =`.
|
|
* sender address is forged (sender doesn't perform smtp auth and sender domain is hosted on localhost)
|
|
|
|
It offers some parameters to control whether or not to reject email:
|
|
|
|
* for forged sender address checking:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Check whether sender is forged in message sent without smtp auth.
|
|
CHECK_FORGED_SENDER = True
|
|
|
|
# If you allow someone or some service providers to send email as forged
|
|
# (your local) address, you can list all allowed addresses in this parameter.
|
|
# For example, if some ISPs may send email as 'user@mydomain.com' (mydomain.com
|
|
# is hosted on your server) to you, you should add `user@mydomain.com` as one
|
|
# of forged senders.
|
|
# Sample: ALLOWED_FORGED_SENDERS = ['user@mydomain.com', 'mydomain.com']
|
|
ALLOWED_FORGED_SENDERS = []
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* for sender login mismatch:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Allow sender login mismatch for specified senders or sender domains.
|
|
#
|
|
# Sample setting: allow local user `user@local_domain_1.com` and all users
|
|
# under `local_domain_2.com` to send email as other users.
|
|
#
|
|
# ALLOWED_LOGIN_MISMATCH_SENDERS = ['user@local_domain_1.com', 'local_domain_2.com']
|
|
ALLOWED_LOGIN_MISMATCH_SENDERS = []
|
|
|
|
# Strictly allow sender to send as one of user alias addresses. Default is True.
|
|
ALLOWED_LOGIN_MISMATCH_STRICTLY = True
|
|
|
|
# Allow member of mail lists/alias account to send email as mail list/alias
|
|
# ('From: <email_of_mail_list>' in mail header). Default is False.
|
|
ALLOWED_LOGIN_MISMATCH_LIST_MEMBER = False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Feature: White/Blacklisting

|
|
|
### How to disable white/blacklists completely
|

|
```
|
|
# cd /opt/iredapd/tools/
|
|
# python greylisting_admin.py --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Enable greylisting for emails which are sent from anyone to local mail domain `example.com`:

```
|
|
|
|
#### RECOMMENDED: Additional greylisting whitelist support
|
|
|
|
Seems many companies setup their mail servers to re-deliver returned email
|
|
immediately from another server, this causes trouble with greylisting.
|
|
|
|
Possible solutions:
|
|
|
|
1. Disable greylisting on your server completely.
|
|
1. Whitelist IP addresses/networks of their mail servers.
|
|
|
|
For solution #2, you can whitelist those mail servers with script
|
|
`/opt/iredapd/tools/spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py`.
|
|
|
|
> Note: script `tools/spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py` is available in iRedAPD-1.8.0 and later releases.
|
|
|
|
It queries SPF and MX records of specified mail domain names, then store all
|
|
converted IP addresses/networks defined in SPF/MX records in SQL table
|
|
`iredapd.greylisting_whitelists`.
|
|
|
|
To whitelist IP addresses/networks of some mail domain, for example,
|
|
`outlook.com`, `microsoft.com`, please run command like below:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cd /opt/iredapd/tools/
|
|
# python spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py outlook.com microsoft.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to whitelist more mail domains, just run the command with the
|
|
domain names like above sample.
|
|
|
|
Since iRedAPD-1.8.0, we have SQL table `iredapd.greylisting_whitelist_domains`
|
|
to store these mail domain names. if you run `spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py`
|
|
without any argument, it will fetch all mail domains stored in sql table
|
|
`greylisting_whitelist_domains` instead of fetching from command line arguments.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# python spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should setup a cron job to run this script, so that it can keep the IP
|
|
addresses/networks up to date. iRedMail sets up the cron job to run every 10
|
|
minutes, like below:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/python /opt/iredapd/tools/spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py &>/dev/null
|
|
```
|
