Hello. Please be kind as I'm still learning the program and I'll have lots of questions. Is there a webpage that lists the instructions to install MailScanner + Postfix if you are using it as a front-end for an Exchange 2010 server? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I use sendmail, so someone else can comment on your postfix question.



I would make a suggestion to turn on the Exchange antispam feature for
recipient checking and run MILTER-AHEAD with your MailScanner MTA. It is
cheap but not free, but well worth the expense.

Tracy Greggs

If you are running a small instance (1 domain) Mailborder also provides a postfix base and is free.

BTW, Exchange 2013 does not have recipient checking integrated into their
antispam feature set. This has proven to be a real PITA when using
MailScanner as a gateway. Another brilliant move from Microsoft!

You could, at least in theory, use plugins to check recipients using LDAP
in Active Directory - this plus proper SPF implementation reduces a lot of
the fake "from" and bogus "to" addresses for your domain.

I agree Alex. LDAP is another solution.



Again, I was merely pointing out that a quick cheap fix that I have used in many installations is Milter-Ahead and it does a nice job. It does require the exchange server to have recipient checking function turned on in the anti spam features of exchange which is not supported in exchange 2013.



Since the original question was in reference to exchange 2010, I was just letting Greg know about Milter-Ahead because that would do the trick for him.



This list is for the community to try to lend help in resolving problems some have with implementations that others on the list have encountered before. I really didn?t think the graylisting post had anything to do with what I was referring to nor did I find productive the ?A few keywords in google's search box would bring him more helpful suggestions than yours? comment.



No good deed ?..

I agree that the greylisting post had nothing to do with it, and I've used
milter ahead I'm some installations where LDAP was not available, so I also
agree with you on that part.

Unfortunately some people can be too adamant about using free (whether or
not they're open) tools as opposed to a "right tool for the right job for
the right budget" approach.

Finally, although I do appreciate when people do their due diligence first,
I can understand that they might want to ask the list first instead of
doing it "the smart way" as per Esrb's famous article. I usually will say
things like "I tried searching for these keywords and found this resource"
instead of "Google this first next time" - which in the end is the same
thing, but you get more flies with honey...

Those of us who've been on the list for years know how you feel...

Trust me, I Googled a ton before I bothered the list. I haven?t found anything that meets my needs. Since I run Postfix-Amavis-Spamassassin as a front-end for Exchange, I haven?t found anyone who has successfully tied in the latest version of MailScanner into this type of configuration. Just saying Google it doesn?t even remotely answer the question I originally asked, either. ;)

You could, at least in theory, use plugins to check recipients using LDAP in Active Directory - this plus proper SPF implementation reduces a lot of the fake "from" and bogus "to" addresses for your domain.

I use sendmail, so someone else can comment on your postfix question.

I would make a suggestion to turn on the Exchange antispam feature for recipient checking and run MILTER-AHEAD with your MailScanner MTA. It is cheap but not free, but well worth the expense.

Hello. Please be kind as I?m still learning the program and I?ll have lots of questions. Is there a webpage that lists the instructions to install MailScanner + Postfix if you are using it as a front-end for an Exchange 2010 server? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have you tried MailBorder?

On Wednesday, July 30, 2014, Greg Ledford <gledford at phhwtechnology.com>
Post by Greg Ledford
Trust me, I Googled a ton before I bothered the list. I haven?t found
anything that meets my needs. Since I run Postfix-Amavis-Spamassassin as a
front-end for Exchange, I haven?t found anyone who has successfully tied in
the latest version of MailScanner into this type of configuration. Just
saying Google it doesn?t even remotely answer the question I originally
asked, either. ;)

I agree that the greylisting post had nothing to do with it, and I've used
milter ahead I'm some installations where LDAP was not available, so I also
agree with you on that part.
Unfortunately some people can be too adamant about using free (whether or
not they're open) tools as opposed to a "right tool for the right job for
the right budget" approach.
Finally, although I do appreciate when people do their due diligence
first, I can understand that they might want to ask the list first instead
of doing it "the smart way" as per Esrb's famous article. I usually will
say things like "I tried searching for these keywords and found this
resource" instead of "Google this first next time" - which in the end is
the same thing, but you get more flies with honey...
Those of us who've been on the list for years know how you feel...
On Wednesday, July 30, 2014, Tracy Greggs <mailscanner-list at okla.com
I agree Alex. LDAP is another solution.
Again, I was merely pointing out that a quick cheap fix that I have used
in many installations is Milter-Ahead and it does a nice job. It does
require the exchange server to have recipient checking function turned on
in the anti spam features of exchange which is not supported in exchange
2013.
Since the original question was in reference to exchange 2010, I was just
letting Greg know about Milter-Ahead because that would do the trick for
him.
This list is for the community to try to lend help in resolving problems
some have with implementations that others on the list have encountered
before. I really didn?t think the graylisting post had anything to do with
what I was referring to nor did I find productive the ?A few keywords in
google's search box would bring him more helpful suggestions than yours?
comment.
No good deed ?..

I prefer to query my domain controllers for the list of valid
recipients, and use this attached script to do so. It also pages
through the response from Active Directory (pulls 990 items) so you get
all valid user emails. There is no mention of an AD domain, so even if
this doesn't help Tracy, it may help others.

Cheers,

It might help me if I ever decide to go the postfix route, thanks for
shipping it in.

I prefer to query my domain controllers for the list of valid recipients,
and use this attached script to do so. It also pages through the response
from Active Directory (pulls 990 items) so you get all valid user emails.
There is no mention of an AD domain, so even if this doesn't help Tracy, it
may help others.

It's probably just me, but.

Why would the OP need a paid service to do, what his free, and very
potent gateway, will do for him, in less cycles. Saving him the hassle
of dealing with a commercial entity, instead of a friendly and helpful
user community.

A few keywords in google's search box would bring him more helpful
suggestions than yours.

BTW. I use sendmail too. I use smf graylisting:

If it's not postfix friendly, something similar should be easy to find.

Just a brain fart.

If he is new to MailScanner then it would be easier to setup Baruwa or Mailborder. Mailborder takes about 5 minutes to install. It takes about 1 minute to set it up. There is also a free version of both Baruwa and Mailborder. Both front ends are also run by members of the user community.

Postgrey works with postfix. (It?s a check box on Mailborder.) I am not sure if Andrew has built Greylisting into the GUI on Baruwa.

Milter-Ahead is just a commercial mail filter addon. It is a 1 time cost of
a little over 100.00 US. It checks with the exchange box to see if it is a
valid recipient before MailScanner processes it. It caches results as well.

If we wanted to have a discussion about free and not free, exchange is
certainly not free.

I was merely trying to point out that in a MailScanner gateway setup for
exchange, Milter-Ahead works great for making sure the recipient is valid on
the exchange server before any processing.

It really has nothing to do with spam filtering, it just keeps you from
processing mail with the MailScanner gateway and shipping it to the exchange
box after when it is not a valid recipient on the exchange box in the 1st
place.

Perhaps you misunderstood the point I was making.

How does graylisting do that or have anything to do with that?

Regards

I've gone the milter-ahead route myself a couple of times; don't know
if/how it applies to Postfix. I did find this through Google:

http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/

In section 6 it describes how Postfix can check LDAP for valid recipients,
if I interpret it correctly.

Just a brain shart.

I don?t use postfix so I could be off base here, but according to the snertsoft site, milter-ahead works with postfix as well as sendmail.



I guess the whole point of my suggestion in the 1st place is that the original poster would want to use some form of recipient verification before processing with MailScanner IMO. In my case Milter-Ahead does a great job but there is always more than 1 way to do things.

Tracy

I've gone the milter-ahead route myself a couple of times; don't know if/how it applies to Postfix. I did find this through Google:



http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/



In section 6 it describes how Postfix can check LDAP for valid recipients, if I interpret it correctly.



Just a brain shart.

Milter-Ahead is just a commercial mail filter addon. It is a 1 time cost of
a little over 100.00 US. It checks with the exchange box to see if it is a
valid recipient before MailScanner processes it. It caches results as well.

If we wanted to have a discussion about free and not free, exchange is
certainly not free.

I was merely trying to point out that in a MailScanner gateway setup for
exchange, Milter-Ahead works great for making sure the recipient is valid on
the exchange server before any processing.

It really has nothing to do with spam filtering, it just keeps you from
processing mail with the MailScanner gateway and shipping it to the exchange
box after when it is not a valid recipient on the exchange box in the 1st
place.

Perhaps you misunderstood the point I was making.

How does graylisting do that or have anything to do with that?

It's probably just me, but.

Why would the OP need a paid service to do, what his free, and very potent
gateway, will do for him, in less cycles. Saving him the hassle of dealing
with a commercial entity, instead of a friendly and helpful user community.

A few keywords in google's search box would bring him more helpful
suggestions than yours.

BTW. I use sendmail too. I use smf graylisting:

http://www.greylisting.org/implementations/sendmail.shtml

https://www.google.dk/?gws_rd=ssl#newwindow=1 <https://www.google.dk/?gws_rd=ssl#newwindow=1&q=smf+greylisting+postfix> &q=smf+greylisting+postfix

If it's not postfix friendly, something similar should be easy to find.

Just a brain fart.

I use sendmail, so someone else can comment on your postfix question.
I would make a suggestion to turn on the Exchange antispam feature for
recipient checking and run MILTER-AHEAD with your MailScanner MTA. It
is cheap but not free, but well worth the expense.

Hey Greg:

Here is my take for whatever it is worth:

1 ? effective front-end spam filtering ?YES!!!
2 ? free software ?YES!!!

3 - Daily reports:

OK for this you would want IMO either:

A: MailWatch - https://github.com/mailwatch/1.2.0

MailWatch has been around since 9/2003, the development team has changed in the past few years, I have been working with one of the coders, Phil Randal to clean up most of the issues with the current 1.2.0 Beta 6 Dev and it still needs a few minor fixes but all in all a great interface. The reporting function works OK at this point in time but is due for some recoding that I am sure will be done in the near future.
PHP web interface/MySQL DB

B: Baruwa - https://www.baruwa.org/
V1.x has an rpm repo for installation ease and it is free. V2.x packaged versions require an annual subscription, http://www.baruwa.com
V2.x Source installation appears to still be free, not 100% sure though.

They have a MW vs Baruwa comparison chart at https://www.baruwa.org/blog/2013/04/26/baruwa-vs-mailwatch---a-feature-comparison-update/
I haven't run the newer 2.x versions because among other reasons it does not have sendmail support. I think it only supports Exim and Postfix.

Good luck with it, need any help with MW just ask.

Regards,
Tracy Greggs

MailSanner and one of the "front-ends" will likely be able to do exactly
what you want, and (in the case of Postfix as MTA, at least) with OSS tools
"through and through":).
The problem is your third point, not so much for the messages that get
handled by MailScanner as such, but rather the ones you reject at the MTA
level. Such rejections inherently only leave a very slight presence in your
logs, and are done so early in the process (according to the philosophy:
the earlier you reject, the lees work your MX host need do!) so that your
MTA simply doesn't know enough to determine which the final recipient would
have been (think RFC "strictness" like rejection malformed HELO/EHLO
statements, for example "EHLO joe.schmo at example.net" or "EHLO plainword").
For summarising stuff like that you need do some log analysis (pflogsum
come to mind).
but for everything that is accepted but never delivered to the recipient,
at leas mailWatch have a nice quarantine report (there have been others
over the years, I'm just mentioning the one I'm somewhat familiar with;)
that will do exactly what you want.

Cheers

Milter-Ahead is just a commercial mail filter addon. It is a 1 time cost of
a little over 100.00 US. It checks with the exchange box to see if it is a
valid recipient before MailScanner processes it. It caches results as well.
If we wanted to have a discussion about free and not free, exchange is
certainly not free.
I was merely trying to point out that in a MailScanner gateway setup for
exchange, Milter-Ahead works great for making sure the recipient is valid on
the exchange server before any processing.
It really has nothing to do with spam filtering, it just keeps you from
processing mail with the MailScanner gateway and shipping it to the exchange
box after when it is not a valid recipient on the exchange box in the 1st
place.
Perhaps you misunderstood the point I was making.
How does graylisting do that or have anything to do with that?
Regards

It's probably just me, but.
Why would the OP need a paid service to do, what his free, and very potent
gateway, will do for him, in less cycles. Saving him the hassle of dealing
with a commercial entity, instead of a friendly and helpful user community.
A few keywords in google's search box would bring him more helpful
suggestions than yours.

If it's not postfix friendly, something similar should be easy to find.
Just a brain fart.

I use sendmail, so someone else can comment on your postfix question.
I would make a suggestion to turn on the Exchange antispam feature for
recipient checking and run MILTER-AHEAD with your MailScanner MTA. It
is cheap but not free, but well worth the expense.

Hello. Please be kind as I'm still learning the program and I'll have
lots of questions. Is there a webpage that lists the instructions to
install MailScanner + Postfix if you are using it as a front-end for
an Exchange
2010 server? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Actually... Postfix has had recipient verification capabilities inbuilt for
some time, so there really is no need for milter-ahead to enter the
equation. What many do is to implement some other method of verifying the
viability of recipients, to be able to weed out the kind of e-mail
addresses that make no sense outside the "forest" or "organizaional unit"
serviced by the AD/Exchange server(s).
In my case I do this with a pretty straightforward shell script around a
pretty basic ldapsearch (from openldap), that weed out all things I don't
want to expose, and that generate and postmap a relay recipient map. ISTR
there being something about this in the wiki already, as well as how to
setup PF for general recipient verification:-)

Cheers

I've gone the milter-ahead route myself a couple of times; don't know
http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/
In section 6 it describes how Postfix can check LDAP for valid recipients,
if I interpret it correctly.
Just a brain shart.

Hey Greg,

Not in so many words, but you could try the following:

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=maq:index
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:installation
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:how_to:setup_a_gateway
http://www.ingent.net/en/2011/11/catala-evitant-el-backscatting-amb-postfix-i-exchange/


Personally I use a dual-instance Postfix method protecting my Exchange servers. A list of valid recipients is pushed to the servers on a frequent basis to only allow known email addresses through, similar to what's being described in the last URL, except for the parts about exposing SMB or LDAP from the internal network..

You can generate the user list by modifying the example VBS (but take into account contacts, groups and mail enabled public folders), or roll your own in your language of choice. You can setup PSCP to push the file to your Postfix server via trusted keys (ideally as a non-privileged user), and protect it with something like rssh to only allow restricted scp access (depending on your version of OpenSSH).


-Joshua

Greg,

Where I work we do run a few email gateways that are MailScanner + Postfix
in front of other systems including Exchange 2010.

If it will work for you I would recommend Mailborder from Jerry Benton. He
has put a lot of work into it and it is a good product. If you have
requirements that are different from his model then it might not be the
best choice. It is worth checking out as it is nearly turn key (minimal
configuration).

PSI Mailbag has already given you the links I would have recommended to
you. I am not aware of better, except possibly for the documentation in the
MailScanner code. Most of the documentation in Julian Field's MailScanner
book comes straight out of the code documentation (and it stays current; as
current as MailScanner changes by Julian).
