Enable postscreen service

[TOC]

WARNING: With postscreen service enabled, your users must use port 587 to send email, port 25 will be used by postscreen service instead of normal smtp service.

Enable postscreen service

iRedMail ships a script to enable postscreen. You can enable it with steps below:

  1. Download script enable_postscreen.sh from iRedMail source code repository
  2. Upload this script to your iRedMail server, then execute it to enable postscreen service:
# bash enable_postscreen.sh

That's all.

Important notes:

  • It will backup /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf first, if postscreen doesn't work, you can restore these 2 files.
  • It uses several DNSBL servers by default, you'd better open /etc/postfix/main.cf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf (FreeBSD) to check the DNSBL servers it enabled, you're free to remove some of them (or add new ones) if you want.

If you don't want to use postscreen service, you can enable DNSBL service instead, it helps a lot too, but less effective than postscreen service.
