# 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](https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/src/default/iRedMail/tools/?at=default)
1. 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.
## See Also
If you don't want to use postscreen service, you can [enable DNSBL service](./enable.dnsbl.html)
instead, it helps a lot too, but less effective than postscreen service.
