hello I am running a Postfix / Dovecot setup and i have everything set the way I want it... for now. Auth through SASL SSL and can receive/send to the Internet.I am just unsure if my aliases and/ or smtpd_sender files are being accessed. main.cfg has ; alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases (I did indeed run postalias aliases) smtpd_sender_login_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_senders (I did postmap smtpd_senders) Both have their .db files associated with them. My question/concern is that I can put whatEVER I want into them whether or not it has noting to do with the legitimate user I want to be allowed to have access and that user can have access to send. I am wondering if I am misunderstanding the concept of both alias_maps and smtpd_sender or if they are set up wrong or if I have another option enabled that negates them. So basically, user : blah has the ability to send/receive regardless of what I have listed, which doesn't seem like it's working if that's the case. Not sure if my master.cf or my dovecot configs work in concert with these following settings as well, but here is my main, My full main.cf is: mydomain = mydomain.org (obviously not it) myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain mynetworks_style = host alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases meta_directory = /etc/postfix shlib_directory = /usr/lib/postfix message_size_limit = 10485760 mailbox_size_limit = 1073741824 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sender_login_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_senders smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_auth_destination, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_sender_login_mismatch ##Starttls smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/postfixcert.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/postfixkey.pem smtpd_use_tls = yes
Maybe this can simplify things.... my Email server is fully working and only for 2-3 users, myself, and all work fine. Each user is a user account that has access to email. With this being said, do I even need an alias / virtual user / maps or the likes for my scenario?
