I finally got to the spam point I had to need to disable the "catchall" email accounts on postfix. I simply removed the catchall lines from /etc/postfix/virtual, and it works correctly, however I want postfix to tell the spammer that the message was accepted but really silently discard it.
right now it discards their email correctly, but postfix emails a reply back to the "from" address (which is most likely faked or some innocent user)
Quote:
"PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 <localhost@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table"
how do I get postfix to silently trash their message, give the smtp reply code that it was successfully accepted, and not email the user back.
or is it not that big of deal and I should just let it send (but this seems like a huge waste as this means my server is wasting resources sending hundreds/thousands of unnecessary "REJECTED" messages to users who probably are completely unrelated)
I'm running postfix 2.3.5 with my alias info being drawn from a mysql database.
What i'm trying to do is setup a partial catchall setup to forward all email that's addressed *@hah.cx to uber@spamcop.net. However, I want email addressed to mikey@hah.cx, and mike@hah.cx to be directed to my local "mikey" user email account.
I have a hard problem with my VPS. I have postfix as mail server on plesk 12 under ubuntu 12.
I dont know why the outgoing mails of all my domains in my servers are getting spam in servers like gmail, yahoo, hotmail...
I'm using mxtoolbox to fix errors and warnings and finally fixed all of them, but my mails are still outgoing to spam.
In mxtoolbox actually I have no mail server errors / warning, u can see it with, for example, this one of my domains: [URL] ....

Has anyone had issues with Level3 honoring their discard community recently (3556:9999)? We had to null 2 IPs earlier in the week. The first one they didn't pick up the route when advertised via BGP (or if they did, it took hours). We ended up having to call and get them to filter it manually. The second IP we were able to null route fine using BGP. Now we have another IP being attacked and it looks like Level3 isn't going to pick up the route and discard traffic.
I'm trying to add a new subscription and I get the error
Error: Discard mode not supported
I've tried adding a test domain to other clients even my main admin and I still get this error. Panel version 11.5.30 Update #31, last updated at Jan 30, 2014 04:02 AM
I believe that is the only thing that changed between my last domain creation and today's attempt. Anyway to rollback ? Or anyway to get more information on this error ?
I'm running on Plesk's auto-update and I have it set to "Late adopter release"....
My issue started ince a couple of months seemed to increase with update to Plesk 12.0 (though I can't guarantee it).I am using Centos 6.5, all updated. What happens is that postfix usage starts to increase without any apparent reason (during week-ends for example). Then postfix is not responding anymore.

--l84GRnX3029819.1188924134/debian-- How would I solve this problem as it's making our server load skyhigh 24/7.
Additional info about system: > Debian Linux, latest kernel > Sendmail (we've tried postfix, exim, with same results) > Non cPanel system.
I'm currently having trouble with Postfix. I recently installed some new web hosting software (ispCP) and so some new configs were written for all my software. Postfix was one of them and I can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Whenever I send e-mails to my server, Postfix denies it saying "Unknown address error 554: Relay access denied". The logs say NOTHING about it and I've been trying the old configs on Postfix and still nothing works.
Here are my configs: main.cf
Code: # # Postfix MTA Manager Main Configuration File; # # Please do NOT edit this file manually; #
# # Postfix directory settings; These are critical for normal Postfix MTA functionallity; #
I tried following the directions about 'The Perfect Setup' for SuSE 10.1 for my email server and finally got it to work, but now I am having issues with error messages!
In my /var/log/mail file I get tons of: Jul 6 18:15:17 <server> postfix/qmgr[8226]: warning: connect to transport error: Operation not permitted
and in my /var/log/messages file I get tons of: Jul 6 18:19:17 <server> kernel: audit(1183738757.049:122): REJECTING w access to /var/spool/postfix/private/error (qmgr(8226) profile /usr/lib/postfix /qmgr active /usr/lib/postfix/qmgr)
I can't find anyone having issues with the 'error' part of postfix.
I'm thinking of forcing the install but well maybe I should just post what's going on

I recently moved to a VPS and installed Postfix onto it as my mail server. But I have following problems with its consistent working:
1. I experience that every now and then (once in 2 weeks) , it stops sending mails and put them in the mail queue with the following error:
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name= type=MX: mysite.com not found, try again
I am not sure why it says so. However if I try to restart my mail server /etc/init.d/postfix restart and then try to flush the mails out of queue they are sent successfully. I am not sure where the problem is.
2. Secondly, I see that the header of my mails contains the hostname of my VPS machine "gospel" which is ofcourse not intended. How can I have my domain name in the mail headers?
My server's running Debian Etch, Postfix and spamassassin.
Spamassassin works: it flags spam messages correctly.
Currently I have set it to discard messages marked as spam and messages that doesn't have a proper ascii header (Eliminates mail from chinese & japanese spammers). But how do I make postfix to move spam to "Junk" (or such) folder, not to discard it.
I'm having some SMTP server security issues. I am running Postfix on my Debian VPS and I am trying to disable Postfix from being publically used by anybody except those with webmail.
I read Postfix's configuration at Postfix.org, but I couldn't find anything that I thought to be relevent to this situation. Do any of you have suggestions or ways to fix this? Besides disabling e-mail all together?
As another detail, I'm running Postfix on its original config, not through a MySQL database config.
I've got virtualmin installed and configured and working beautifully, and I'm able to add email accounts and have them checked by dovecot. Now I'm trying to work the SMTP side of things, but I'm stuck.
What's happening here is that when I attempt to send an email through Postfix, it replies with 'relay access denied'
I've searched google and tried various things, but none of them have worked so far. I can post any configuration files you need. After I get this working, I get to add another domain and see if the settings work there too
I'm trying to iron out this huge bug with Postfix. Right now I am stuck in a hole. I am trying to disable Postfix from relaying e-mail sent to my server. When I send e-mail without "relay_domains", I get a "554 Relay Access Denied" error. When I supply a "relay_domains" variable to Postfix, I get "mail for example.com loops back to myself" for an error.
I was skimming over the Postfix docs and it said you can make these errors go away with a "virtual_mailbox_domains" or "virtual_alias_domains" variable. My config has "virtual_mailbox_domains" but still these errors appear.
Is there a way to fix this, or a way to disable Postfix from relaying e-mail?
I'm using Postfix as my mail agent. I was wondering how to forward incoming emails to a script.
I did a search in google and couldn't find anything relevant only this.
create a alias like this.
email@example.com: "| php -q /home/user/full/path/to/script.php" But is not working not forward nothing. I have tried everything but nothing works and the logs not show me any errors.
I installed recently Postfix + Dovecot (yum) on a CentOS 5.1 test box. The configuration went OK, I can telnet on port 25, 587 and 465 with no problems.
I have a server which runs suse linux on it. Postfix is already installed on it. But, the problem is i am not able to send mail using root. I mean using mail -v command.
I could see the following in mail logs. I know 2 files main.cf and master.cf are there.
Not, sure what to change and how.

I have my postfix server configured to allow me to send email without authentication whenever my ip matches a value in my config. Only problem is, i have it open to accept anyone in my subnet, and i'm kind of weary of letting anyone in this area send mail through it.
I have a script on my server that gets my ip address whenever i send an http-based request to my winamp now playing script. When it gets my ip address, it updates a file called ip.txt with my ip address. What i'm trying to do is config my postfix main.cf file to grab the ip from ip.txt, and add it onto the mynetworks variable. Then when i try to send the email, i want it to recognize me, and let me send the email.
I have searched the whole forum for help on this but couldnt find anything.
I have postfix running on a backup mx server for a plesk box. The backup mx does a very good job of reducing spam and virus to my plesk box thanks to mailscanner.
The problem i have now is i have to manually update postfix transport and relay_recipients file everytime a new domain is created in plesk. Do any one know how i can create a custom script that will pull domain information from my plesk box and will update postfix on the backup mx server. Maybe a website with information that can help. i can always set a cron to run the postmap command to update the tables but i will need to update the respective files (transport, relay_recipients) first.
I've just finished setting up postfix with mysql virtualdomains, on debian sarge with mysql 5.0. However it refuses to connect to the mysql database and I have found a bug report for courrier-authdeamon
[url]
how can I get around this? I would like to be able to keep mysql 5 but need a stable version so I do not want to install the 5.1 version...
