Commands

# vérifier la configuration
sudo postfix check

# recharger la configuration
sudo postfix reload

# affiche les paramètres actuels de Postfix
postconf -pf

# affiche les paramètres par défaut
postconf -df

Basic Configuration

/etc/postfix/main.cf

mydomain = domain.net
# mydomain = localdomain (localdomain is replaced during installation)

myhostname = mail.domain.net
# myhostname = <hostname>.localdomain

# domain name to use in outbound mail, ex: user@myorigin
# send mail as user@$mydomain
myorigin = $mydomain
# myorigin = $myhostname

# domains to receive mail for
# add $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
# mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
# alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases

# forward mail from the local machine only
mynetworks_style = host
# mynetworks_style = ${{$compatibility_level} < {2} ? {subnet} : {host}}
# compatibility_level = 0

# relay_domains = ${{$compatibility_level} < {2} ? {$mydestination} : {}}
# never forward mail from strangers
relay_domains = 

# delivery method: direct or indirect (another smtp server)
relayhost = [smtp.internet-provider.fr]
# relayhost =   (direct delivery to Internet)

hostname

Not sure that it is needed if localhost is used.

# current hostname
hostnamectl status

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname mail.domain.fr

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1    localhost mail.domain.fr
::1          localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback mail.domain.fr

# re-login to see the changes then run
hostname -f

TLS encryption for outgoing mail

/etc/postfix/main.cf

smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

Orange

La box d’Orange bloque le port 25 en sortie ipv4 pour limiter l’envoi de spam.
L'envoie d'email doit donc se faire via le smtp d'orange.

/etc/postfix/main.cf

relayhost = [smtp.orange.fr]:587
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/orange.conf
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
# smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous

#broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
#smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname

/etc/postfix/sasl/orange.conf

[smtp.orange.fr]:587 compte@orange.fr:password

# générer la db
sudo postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/orange.conf
sudo chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl/orange.conf     # root:root 600
sudo chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl/orange.conf.db  # root:root 600

TLS encryption for incoming mail

/etc/postfix/main.cf

smtpd_tls_security_level = may
#smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.net/privkey.pem
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.net/fullchain.pem
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache

# log level (default 0)
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
# 0 → no log
# 1 → Log on TLS handshake completion
# 2 → Also log levels during TLS negotiation
# 3 and 4. Use log level 3 only in case of problems. Use of log level 4 is strongly discouraged.

SMTP Authentication using SASL client with Dovecot

Postfix supports the Dovecot SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) implementation.
Dovecot is a POP/IMAP (Post Office Protocol / Interactive Message Access Protocol) server, it has its own configuration to authenticate POP/IMAP clients.
Communication between the Postfix SMTP server and Dovecot SASL happens over a UNIX-domain socket.

/etc/postfix/main.cf

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

Allow incoming port 587 (submission)

By default Postfix listen incoming STMP client connections from port 25.
In addition you may allow the port 587 to receive incoming connections from SMTP client to send emails.
StartTLS protocol is used: communications start in plain text and if possible, upgrades to TLS.

/etc/postfix/master.cf

submission inet n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
  -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=
  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

/etc/postfix/main.cf

mua_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject
# on BlueMail Android app, Helo command rejected, need fully-qualified hostname
# mua_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, reject_unknown_helo_hostname
mua_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname
mua_sender_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch

Allow incoming port 465 (SMTPS)

By default Postfix listen incoming STMP client connections from port 25.
In addition you may allow the port 465 to receive incoming connections from SMTP client to send emails.
Implicit TLS protocol is used: communications start encrypted with TLS.

/etc/postfix/master.cf

smtps     inet  n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
  -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps
  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=
  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

Transport Map & Relayhost Map

/etc/postfix/main.cf

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

emails sent to your own domain are delivered locally
email sent to gmail.com are delivered normally by performing MX lookup
all other emails are delivered via the relay host

/etc/postfix/transport

your-domain.com       local 
gmail.com             smtp
*                     relay:[smtp-relay.sendinblue.com]:587

# build the index file
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/transport

Test

telnet localhost 25
ehlo localhost
# vérifier que les lignes suivantes sont bien affichées
# 250-STARTTLS
# 250-AUTH
mail from: root@domain.fr
rcpt to: user@gmail.com

.
quit

openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp
openssl s_client -connect localhost:587 -starttls smtp
openssl s_client -connect localhost:465 -starttls smtp

Log

journalctl
/var/log/mail.log

# TLS logging outgoing
smtp_tls_loglevel = 1
# TLS logging incoming
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1

Mailboxes

By default Postifx will use mbox for the mailbox format.

# use maildir and store emails in the /home/<user>/maildir directory
home_mailbox = maildir/

# allow incoming SMTP (25) to receive emails from other SMTP servers
sudo ufw allow Postfix

# allow incoming SMTP (587) to receive emails from SMTP client over StartTLS
sudo ufw allow "Postfix Submission"

# allow incoming SMTPs (465) to receive emails from SMTP client over TLS
sudo ufw allow "Postfix SMTPS"
