h3#art-1 #[a(href='#art-1') 1. Introduction]
|
||||
p I use Postfix as a SMTP and Dovecot (with Pigeonhole (Sieve)) as an IMAP server. ClamAV for an antivirus. For antispam I use SpamAssassin. For DKIM and DMARC — OpenDKIM and OpenDMARC respectively.
|
||||
p It is vital to make the DKIM, DMARC and SPF DNS records. Also, if you want your mail server to be trusted by every other mail servers then you should get a static IP-address if you don't yet. And you have to ask your ISP to edit PTR DNS record for your static IP-address to point to your domain.
|
||||
p Unfortunately for me I don't have neither, and I'm afraid that even if I get the static IP-address, my ISP won't edit PTR record, because that's available only for bussiness customers. And about domains, there is such things as untrustworthy abused TLDs, and top TLD is in that list. That's definitely because it's a cheap TLD.
|
||||
p E-mail itself is a system consisting of several parts. A main E-mail protocol — SMTP is used for exchanging of mail between servers. For a user to manage his mail IMAP and POP3 protocols are used. Difference between IMAP and POP3 is that IMAP manages mail stored on a server, while POP3, once fetched mail, deletes it from server.
|
||||
p As SMTP server I use Postfix. For IMAP (I don't use POP3 because I need access from multiple devices) I use Dovecot. Dovecot is also being used for SASL authentication in Postfix. And Dovecot supports Sieve protocol, through its implementation called Pigeonhole, that allows users to write their own message filtering rules.
|
||||
p Server is configured in a simple way using PAM (real system users) with user's passwords and with mail stored in ~/Maildir.
|
||||
p But, as you know, there is a major problem called spam. And in order to withstand this problem there was mechanisms created. So that no one could impersonate you DKIM, DMARC and SPF were created. To ensure encrypted connection a MTA-STS (RFC8461) standard was made. To resist incoming spam anti-spam systems like SpamAssassin or spamd are used. Also it is good to check incoming mail for viruses, there are many antiviruses and I use one called ClamAV.
|
||||
p I have mentioned DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), it is used to sign mail going out that it is indeed comes from your server, and verify incoming mail. And for that I use OpenDKIM implementation.
|
||||
p DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a policy that tells the server what to do if received mail failed some checks. To perform DMARC policy checks I use OpenDMARC implementation. OpenDMARC also performs SPF policy checks.
|
||||
p SPF (Sender Policy Framework) allows the server to check that an incoming mail came from an IP address set in SPF DNS record for domain it originates from.
|
||||
p Many servers will reject mail from a dynamic IP-address, so a static address is a must. But, from my experience, GMail, Yandex and Rambler will at least place my message to Junk directory. On Gmail I get to Inbox most of the time btw. There is such thing used against spam called block lists, and Spamhaus is the biggest player here. So, if a server uses such lists I get rejected at the stage of establishing a connection with no chance to get through anti-spam system.
|
||||
p If you have a static address then in Spamhaus you can submit your address for deletion.
|
||||
p Also, while not stated by RFCs, some servers will still reject your mail if your IP-address doesn't have a PTR DNS record set, and some will expect a PTR record to be a hostname of your server, like mail.example.org, or like my the.arav.top.
|
||||
p There is another problem known as not trusted top level domain, like mine .top domain. :) Because of how cheap it is, it is popular among spammers.
|
||||

h3#art-2 #[a(href='#art-2') 2. Installing]
|
||||
p You need to install following packages: #[code postfix], #[code dovecot], #[code pidgeonhole] (or could be #[code dovecot-sieve]), #[code clamav], #[code opendkim], #[code opendmarc], and #[code spamassassin].
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
h3#art-3 #[a(href='#art-3') 3. Postfix SMTP server]
|
||||
p Its configuration files are in directory #[code /etc/postfix]. There are two configuration files we'll work with. The first one is a #[code main.cf] file. Then we configure services in #[code master.cf]. Also I'll show you how to make aliases for users.
|
||||
|
||||
h4#art-3-1 #[a(href='#art-3-1') 3.1. main.cf]
|
||||
p Let's take a look at all base options that should be modified:
|
||||
p So, you have #[code main.cf] opened, first we need to make changes in an existing configuration:
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| myhostname = mail.example.org
|
||||
| mydomain = example.org
|
||||
| myorigin = $mydomain
|
||||
|
|
||||
p #[code myhostname] should be a subdomain that points to an IP of a mail server. This hostname is usually an A DNS record even if you have only one IP-address it is discuraged making it a CNAME.
|
||||
p #[code mydomain] is your domain. In #[code myorigin] we set a domain name from what sent mail appear. Yes, you can use other options as a variable to reduce copy-pasting.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| inet_interfaces = all
|
||||
|
|
||||
p In #[code inet_interfaces] we list interfaces we listen on. In this case we listen on all available interfaces.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, $mydomain, mail.$mydomain
|
||||
|
|
||||
p #[code mydestination] is a list of domains our server deliver mail for.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
|
||||
|
|
||||
p Here we tell Postfix where to look for names of local recipients.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| mynetworks = localhost, 192.168.0.0/24
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
p It is a list of trusted remote clients allowed to relay mail through our server.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
|
||||
| alias_database = $alias_maps
|
||||
|
|
||||
p For database of aliases we use #[code /etc/postfix/aliases] file in a special format we learn about later.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| recipient_delimiter = +
|
||||
|
|
||||
p A symbol used to separate username and an extension.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| home_mailbox = Maildir/
|
||||
|
|
||||
p Here we use a Maildir/ mailbox style when every message is stored in a separated file.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
|
||||
|
|
||||
p Here we tell Postfix what LMTP (Local Mail Transport Protocol) server to use.
|
||||
pre
|
||||
| inet_protocols = ipv4
|
||||
p Now let's clarify what are they doing.
|
||||
p Set #[code myhostname] to a hostname of a server (e.g. #[code mail.example.org]). Set #[code mydomain] to your domain name (e.g. #[code example.org]). Set #[code myorigin] to #[code $mydomain] to set origin of mail being sent from your server.
|
||||
p #[code mydestination] is a list of domains that are delivered through a local transport. If server should go outside then this option must include #[code $mydomain] alongside names for the local machine. E.g. #[code $myhostname, localhost, $mydomain, mail.$mydomain].
|
||||
p #[code local_recipient_maps] are lookup tables with all names and/or addresses of local recipients. In my case it set to #[code unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps].
|
||||
p I have #[code inet_interfaces = all] to listen on all the interfaces.
|
||||
p In #[code mynetworks], as stated in a Postfix's manual, we specify a list of “trusted” clients that have more privileges than “strangers”. In particular, such clients are allowed to relay mail through Postfix. I have it set to localhost and my LAN.
|
||||
p In #[code alias_maps] we specify a list of lookup tables that contain aliases for existing users. And in #[code alias_database] just add #[code $alias_maps]. #[code alias_database] is, as stated in a manual, separate because not all the tables specified with #[code $alias_maps] have to be local files.
|
||||
p #[code recipient_delimeter = +]. Here we set a delimeter to a plus sign (that's just a usual practice that I obeyed).
|
||||
p I use a Maildir-style mailboxes, so #[code home_mailbox] is set to #[code Maildir/] (slash is necessary).
|
||||
p We use Dovecot, so #[code mailbox_transport] should be set to #[code lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp]. Here we point to where Dovecot LMTP server listens, in our case it is a UNIX-socket.
|
||||
p Optionaly, you can set #[code inet_protocols] to IP versions used by you, I set it just to #[code ipv4] for a quite legitimate reason of not having IPv6 address. :) It is a space-separated list, so to support both write #[code ipv4 ipv6].
|
||||
|
||||
p Next I'll cover how to make encryption working, set up milters (mail filters (i.e. OpenDKIM and OpenDMARC)), and restrictions.
|
||||
p Next let's configure our milters:
|
||||
p Here we leave only IPv4 support, if you have an IPv6 address then you may want to add #[code ipv6].
|
||||
p So here we are done with an existing configuration and ready to make our additions to add encryption, milters, configure SASL authentication, restrictions and make some tweaks.
|
||||
p And we start with configuring milters. Milter stands for mail filter, a special protocol originated in Sendmail SMTP server.
