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 allowlist for clients that have + passed a number of tests. When an SMTP client IP address is + allowlisted, <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>STANDARDS</b> + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821">RFC 821</a> (SMTP protocol) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123">RFC 1123</a> (Host requirements) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1652">RFC 1652</a> (8bit-MIME transport) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1869">RFC 1869</a> (SMTP service extensions) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1870">RFC 1870</a> (Message Size Declaration) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1985">RFC 1985</a> (ETRN command) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2034">RFC 2034</a> (SMTP Enhanced Status Codes) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821">RFC 2821</a> (SMTP protocol) + Not: <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2920">RFC 2920</a> (SMTP Pipelining) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3030">RFC 3030</a> (CHUNKING without BINARYMIME) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3207">RFC 3207</a> (STARTTLS command) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3461">RFC 3461</a> (SMTP DSN Extension) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463">RFC 3463</a> (Enhanced Status Codes) + <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321">RFC 5321</a> (SMTP protocol, including multi-line 220 banners) + +<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.
