+POSTSCREEN(8) POSTSCREEN(8)
+
+<b>NAME</b>
+ postscreen - Postfix zombie blocker
+
+<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
+ <b>postscreen</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
+
+<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
+ The Postfix <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> server provides additional protection against
+ mail server overload. One <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> process handles multiple
+ inbound SMTP connections, and decides which clients may talk to a Post-
+ fix SMTP server process. By keeping spambots away, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a>
+ leaves more SMTP server processes available for legitimate clients, and
+ delays the onset of server overload conditions.
+
+ This program should not be used on SMTP ports that receive mail from
+ end-user clients (MUAs). In a typical deployment, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> handles
+ the MX service on TCP port 25, and <a href="smtpd.8.html"><b>smtpd</b>(8)</a> receives mail from MUAs on
+ the <b>submission</b> service (TCP port 587) which requires client authentica-
+ tion. Alternatively, a site could set up a dedicated, non-postscreen,
+ "port 25" server that provides <b>submission</b> service and client authenti-
+ cation, but no MX service.
+
+ <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> maintains a temporary whitelist for clients that have
+ passed a number of tests. When an SMTP client IP address is
+ whitelisted, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> hands off the connection immediately to a
+ Postfix SMTP server process. This minimizes the overhead for legitimate
+ mail.
+
+ By default, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> logs statistics and hands off each connection
+ to a Postfix SMTP server process, while excluding clients in <a href="postconf.5.html#mynetworks">mynetworks</a>
+ from all tests (primarily, to avoid problems with non-standard SMTP
+ implementations in network appliances). This default mode blocks no
+ clients, and is useful for non-destructive testing.
+
+ In a typical production setting, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> is configured to reject
+ mail from clients that fail one or more tests. <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> logs
+ rejected mail with the client address, helo, sender and recipient
+ information.
+
+ <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> is not an SMTP proxy; this is intentional. The purpose
+ is to keep spambots away from Postfix SMTP server processes, while min-
+ imizing overhead for legitimate traffic.
+
+<b>SECURITY</b>
+ The <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to
+ untrusted clients on the network. The process can be run chrooted at
+ fixed low privilege.

+
+<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
+ Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>.
+
+<b>BUGS</b>
+ The <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> built-in SMTP protocol engine currently does not
+ announce support for AUTH, XCLIENT or XFORWARD. If you need to make
+ these services available on port 25, then do not enable the optional
+ "after 220 server greeting" tests.
+
+ The optional "after 220 server greeting" tests may result in unexpected
+ delivery delays from senders that retry email delivery from a different
+ IP address. Reason: after passing these tests a new client must dis-
+ connect, and reconnect from the same IP address before it can deliver
+ mail. See <a href="POSTSCREEN_README.html">POSTSCREEN_README</a>, section "Tests after the 220 SMTP server
+ greeting", for a discussion.
+
+<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
+ Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> are not picked up automatically, as <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a>
+ processes may run for several hours. Use the command "postfix reload"
+ after a configuration change.
+
+ The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
+ more details including examples.
+
+ NOTE: Some <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> parameters implement stress-dependent behav-
+ ior. This is supported only when the default parameter value is
+ stress-dependent (that is, it looks like ${stress?{X}:{Y}}, or it is
+ the $<i>name</i> of an smtpd parameter with a stress-dependent default).
+ Other parameters always evaluate as if the <b>stress</b> parameter value is
+ the empty string.

+ ter.
+
+<b>MAIL EXCHANGER POLICY TESTS</b>
+ When <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> is configured to monitor all primary and backup MX
+ addresses, it can refuse to whitelist clients that connect to a backup
+ MX address only. For small sites, this requires configuring primary and
+ backup MX addresses on the same MTA. Larger sites would have to share
+ the <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> cache between primary and backup MTAs, which would
+ introduce a common point of failure.

+
+<b>BEFORE 220 GREETING TESTS</b>

+ "220 servername" greeting. If no tests remain after the successful com-
+ pletion of this phase, the client will be handed off immediately to a

+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#postscreen_greet_banner">postscreen_greet_banner</a> ($<a href="postconf.5.html#smtpd_banner">smtpd_banner</a>)</b>
+ The <i>text</i> in the optional "220-<i>text</i>..." server response that
+ <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> sends ahead of the real Postfix SMTP server's "220

+ The time limit for DNSBL or DNSWL lookups.
+
+<b>AFTER 220 GREETING TESTS</b>
+ These tests are executed after the remote SMTP client receives the "220
+ servername" greeting. If a client passes all tests during this phase,
+ it will receive a 4XX response to all RCPT TO commands. After the
+ client reconnects, it will be allowed to talk directly to a Postfix
