Hi All,
My Issue: SMTP Proxy on ASG receives –all- incoming email regardless of whether user actually exists on mail server or not.
I’ve been living with this problem since migrating from v6 to v7 (quite some time now!) but it’s become a real problem recently thanks to mass SPAM related activities (spammers sending 5000+ emails):
Running ASG 7.200
Email server: Postfix V2.4 on OSX 10.4.11
ASG Config:
SMTP Proxy status (On)
Not running in transparent mode
Anti-Spam – Using RBL’s and blocking dial-up hosts
Spam Filter ON
BATV on
SPF check on
I had to uncheck Greylisting as there were some (important) valid mail servers that stopped ending email to us when Greylisting was enabled.
Checked Postfix config but can’t spot anything obvious:
Extract from Postfix (main.cf):
unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unverified_recipient,reject_unlisted_recipient,reject_unauth_destination
unverified_recipient_reject_reason = Address lookup failed
smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient = yes
Every evening when the Astaro SPAM report is being delivered, there is a huge number of delivery failure notices generated by the mail server as the ASG is trying to send to the non-existent users.
As a side note, I saw that there was a way to manually blacklist domains/subnets (editing the ASG back-end) – which I’ll do for the repeat mass-spam offenders.
No other issues.
Any hints, suggestions or ideas would be very much welcomed!
Many thanks,
Darren
