mail-filters/Makefile at master · fumiyas/mail-filters

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/15

Cool tool if you use Postfix: mail-filters/Makefile at master · fumiyas/mail-filters.

You set it up like this:

cd /etc/postfix
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fumiyas/mail-filters/master/postfix/Makefile

Then each time you change your postfix configuration:

cd /etc/postfix
make

In that directory, it will (re)generate a Makefile.postmapbased on the lines with hash in main.cf, then make each .db file from the source hash file.

After that you have to manually restart postfix, which depends on your Linux flavour.

Default OpenSuSE Postfix main.cf forgets to configure SASL for cyrus…

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/15

If you see the below in your Postfix log when trying to test your config, then the SASL configuration is empty. Oddly that seems the default on OpenSuSE for a while now, despite it providing cyrus SASL out of the box.

Sep 15 14:30:07 katrien postfix/smtpd[12719]: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: smtpd_sasl_path =
Sep 15 14:30:08 katrien postfix/master[12400]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 12719 exit status 1
Sep 15 14:30:08 katrien postfix/master[12400]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

Prior OpenSuSE versions had this in /etc/postfix/main.cf:

# SASL stuff
############################################################
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps =
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no
#smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
#smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

Newer OpenSuSE versions have this:

# SASL stuff
############################################################
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps =
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no
# cyrus : smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus, smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
# dovecot : smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot, smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_path =
smtpd_sasl_type = 

Despite the newer having these installed:

# rpm -qa | grep cyrus
cyrus-sasl-crammd5-2.1.26-14.2.aarch64
cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-14.2.aarch64
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.26-14.2.aarch64
cyrus-sasl-digestmd5-2.1.26-14.2.aarch64
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.26-14.2.aarch64

Solution:

smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus

Since the values for both lines are default, you could even comment them out; see the documentation:
