Description

This is a guide on installing a Dovecot and Postfix mail server along with Nginx, PostgreSQL, Maia Mailguard, Postfixadmin, SpamAssassin, Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse, Sender Policy Framework, DomainKeys Identified Mail, and Fail2ban on FreeBSD 9.3. This guide is adapted from the excellent mail server setup at purplehat.org

Prepare the System¶

Make sure the system is up to date:
```
pkg update && pkg upgrade
```

Install portmaster and screen:
```
pkg install portmaster screen
```

Update the ports tree:
```
portsnap fetch extract
pkg2ng
```

This builds ClamAV to allow our vscan user access to it. Add ClamAV build options to /etc/make.conf file:
```
echo "CLAMAVUSER=vscan" >> /etc/make.conf
echo "CLAMAVGROUP=vscan" >> /etc/make.conf
```

Add BATCH option to /etc/make.conf file:
```
echo "BATCH=yes" >> /etc/make.conf
```

Install Maia Mailguard¶

Install Maia-Mailguard:
```
portmaster security/maia
```

Set password for “vscan” user to SuperSecretPassword:
```
passwd vscan
```

Install PostgreSQL¶

This environment will be setup with PostgreSQL 9.4:
```
portmaster databases/postgresql94-server
```

NOTE: I needed to edit the main postgresql config file:
```
vi /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
```
- And change the bytea_output parameter to escape:
```
bytea_output = 'escape'
```

Setup Maia Database¶

sudo -u postgres psql

Create a user for maiauser:

CREATE USER maiauser WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPassword';

Create the maiadb database & grant all privileges on database
```
CREATE DATABASE maiadb OWNER maiauser;
```

Setup Postfix Database¶

Create PostfixAdmin database, login to PostgreSQL:
```
sudo -u postgres psql
```
- Create a user for postfix:
```
CREATE USER postfix WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPostfixPassword';
```
- Create the postfix database & grant all privileges on database
```
CREATE DATABASE postfix OWNER postfix;
```

Setup Roundcube Database¶

Create PostgreSQL database and user for Roundcube *, login to PostgreSQL:
```
sudo -u postgres psql
```
- Create a user for roundcubeuser:
```
CREATE USER roundcubeuser WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretRoundcubePassword';
```
- Create the roundcubedb database & grant all privileges on database
```
CREATE DATABASE roundcubedb OWNER roundcubeuser;
```

Quit out of the postgresql prompt and exit out the postgresql user:
```
\q
exit
```

Configure Dovecot¶

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

Install Dovecot Pigeonhole:
```
portmaster mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole
```

Edit /etc/rc.conf so Dovecot starts at boot:

echo 'dovecot_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Copy Dovecot configuration files:

cd /usr/local/etc/dovecot/example-config
cp -Rp * ../

Auth config¶

Edit the dovecot auth config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

And edit the following:

disable_plaintext_auth = no

auth_mechanisms = plain login

#!include auth-system.conf.ext
!include auth-sql.conf.ext

  mailbox Sent {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Drafts {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  mailbox Spam {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Junk
  }

first_valid_uid = 110
last_valid_uid = 110

first_valid_gid = 110
last_valid_gid = 110

mail_plugins = mail_log notify

Master config¶

Edit the dovecot master config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

And modify the following

  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    mode = 0660
    user = vscan
    group = vscan
  }

  #Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix 
  }

LDA config¶

Edit the dovecot lda config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf

And modify the following:

postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com

hostname = mail.example.com

sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes

 protocol lda {
   # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve

IMAP config¶

Edit the dovecot imap config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf

And modify the following:

 protocol imap {
   # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota imap_quota zlib

POP3 config¶

Edit the dovecot pop3 config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf

And modify the following:

pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins

Plugin config¶

Edit the dovecot plugin config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf

And modify the following:

 plugin {
   #setting_name = value
  expire = Trash
  mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename
  mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size
}

plugin {
  sieve = /usr/local/virtual/home/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = /usr/local/virtual/home/%d/%n/sieve
  sieve_global_path = /usr/local/virtual/home/default.sieve
  mail_home = /usr/local/virtual/home/%d/%n
}

Quota config¶

Edit the dovecot quota config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf

And modify the following:

service quota-warning {
  executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh
  user = dovecot
  unix_listener quota-warning {
    user = vscan
  }
}

// Add to end of file...
plugin {
  #Where is quota applied ?
  quota = maildir:User quota
  # the default quota storage bytes, overrides are fetched from userdb [userdb_quota_ruleX]
  quota_rule = *:storage=1G
  #Storage bytes overrides
  quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+30%%
  quota_rule3 = Sent:storage=+30%%
  quota_warning = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u
  quota_warning2 = storage=75%% quota-warning 75 %u
  #What message to send to IMAP clients (and SMTP senders) when quota is exceeded?
  quota_exceeded_message = Storage quota for this account has been exceeded, please try again later.
}

SQL config¶

Edit the dovecot sql config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext

And modify the following:

driver = pgsql

connect = host=pg.example.com dbname=postfix user=postfix password=SuperSecretPostfixPassword

default_pass_scheme = MD5

password_query = SELECT password, '*:bytes=' || quota AS userdb_quota_rule FROM "mailbox" WHERE username = '%u' AND active = TRUE

user_query = SELECT '/usr/local/virtual/' || maildir as home, 110 AS uid, 110 AS gid, '*:bytes=' || quota AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = TRUE

NOTE: The user_query line contains a bit in the query to allow Dovecot to return quota usage. If you don’t want or don’t need quota usage returned, you can just remove that bit from the query…

Main config¶

Edit the main dovecot config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

And modify the following:

protocols = imap pop3 sieve

login_greeting = example.com Mail Server Ready...

SSL config¶

Edit the dovecot ssl config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf

And modify the following:

ssl = yes

ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt
ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.key

ssl_ca = </usr/local/etc/ssl/postfix/sub.class1.server.ca.pem

ssl_verify_client_cert = yes

ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3

ssl_cipher_list=ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes

# dhparam file regenerates every week
ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048

Setup SSL key¶

Install openssl:
```
portmaster security/openssl
```

Start by generating a new 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman param file:
```
cd /usr/local/etc/ssl
openssl dhparam -out dhparams.pem 2048
```
- NOTE: This command will take some time to complete

Create SSL/TLS key and CSR to have signed for a certificate for secure connections:

cd /usr/local/etc/ssl
openssl req -sha512 -out mail.example.com.csr -new -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout mail.example.com.key

Send mail.example.com.csr to a Certificate Authority to receive a signed certificate created, then create the certificate file:
```
vi mail.example.com.crt
```
- NOTE: I use StartSSL, but there are many different CAs to choose from.

Once the SSL certificate has been created on the mail server, download and add the intermediate certificate to the SSL certificate:

cd /usr/local/etc/ssl
fetch https://www.startssl.com/certs/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
cat sub.class1.server.ca.pem >> mail.example.com.crt

Virtual Mail User¶

Create Sieve home directory:
```
mkdir -p /usr/local/virtual/home
```

Create the default.sieve file:

vi /usr/local/virtual/home/default.sieve

And add the following:

require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[Spam]
if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "Yes" 
{
  fileinto "Spam";
  stop;
}

Run the sievec command against our default sieve file:
```
sievec /usr/local/virtual/home/default.sieve
```

Set proper permissions on our virtual directory:

chown -R vscan:vscan /usr/local/virtual
chmod 0750 /usr/local/virtual

Start dovecot:
```
service dovecot start
```

Configure Postfix¶

Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.

Disable Sendmail and start Postfix at boot:

echo 'sendmail_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'sendmail_submit_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'postfix_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Create and add Postfix stuffs to the /etc/periodic.conf file:

echo 'daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"' >> /etc/periodic.conf
echo 'daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"' >> /etc/periodic.conf
echo 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"' >> /etc/periodic.conf

- And add the following to the bottom of the file to allow the “www” user to execute the post-deletion scripts as the “vscan” user:
```
www ALL=(vscan)  NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh \
                 /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-domain-postdeletion.sh
```

Create post-deletion directories and copy scripts:

mkdir -p /usr/local/virtual/deleted/{mailboxes,domains}
chown -R vscan:vscan /usr/local/virtual/deleted
chmod -R 0700 /usr/local/virtual/deleted
cp /usr/local/www/postfixadmin/ADDITIONS/postfixadmin-*deletion.sh /usr/local/bin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin*

Edit the postfixadmin-domain-postdeletion.sh file:

vi /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-domain-postdeletion.sh

And modify the following:

# Change this to where you keep your virtual mail users' maildirs.
basedir=/usr/local/virtual

# Change this to where you would like deleted maildirs to reside.
trashbase=/usr/local/virtual/deleted/domains

Edit the postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh file:

vi /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh

And modify the following:

# Change this to where you keep your virtual mail users' maildirs.
basedir=/usr/local/virtual

# Change this to where you would like deleted maildirs to reside.
trashbase=/usr/local/virtual/deleted/mailboxes

Install needed Perl ports for Vacation to work:

portmaster mail/p5-MIME-EncWords mail/p5-Email-Valid mail/p5-Mail-Sender devel/p5-Log-Log4perl devel/p5-Log-Dispatch

Create Vacation user and group accounts:

pw groupadd vacation
pw useradd vacation -c Virtual\ Vacation -d /nonexistent -g vacation -s /sbin/nologin

Create, populate and secure vacation directory:

mkdir /var/spool/vacation
cp /usr/local/www/postfixadmin/VIRTUAL_VACATION/vacation.pl /var/spool/vacation/
chown -R vacation:vacation /var/spool/vacation/
chmod 700 /var/spool/vacation/
chmod 750 /var/spool/vacation/vacation.pl
touch /var/log/vacation.log /var/log/vacation-debug.log
chown vacation:vacation /var/log/vacation*

Edit the vacation.pl script:

vi /var/spool/vacation/vacation.pl

And modify the following:

our $db_type = 'Pg';
our $db_host = 'pg.example.com';
our $db_username = 'postfix';
our $db_password = 'SuperSecretPostfixPassword';
our $db_name = 'postfix';
our $vacation_domain = 'autoreply.example.com';
our $logfile = "/var/log/vacation.log";
our $log_level = 0;
our $log_to_file = 1;

my $sender = new Mail::Sender({%smtp_connection,TLS_allowed => 0});

Edit master postfix config file for vacation filter:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf

And add this to the bottom of the file.

vacation  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe 
  flags=DRhu user=vacation argv=/var/spool/vacation/vacation.pl -f ${sender} ${recipient}

Edit the main postfix config file for vacation transport:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

And modify the following:

# TRANSPORT MAP
#
# See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport
vacation_destination_recipient_limit = 1

Add proper lines to /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport file:

echo "autoreply.example.com vacation:" >> /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport

Create our transport map database for Postfix:
```
postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport
```

Create a postfixadmin location block in the mail.exmaple.com nginx config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/mail.example.com.conf

Add the following:

server {
  listen       80;
  listen       443 ssl;
  server_name  mail.example.com;
  root         /usr/local/www;
  access_log   /var/log/mail.example.com-access.log;
  error_log    /var/log/mail.example.com-error.log;

  add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=63072000;
  add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
  add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;

  location /postfixadmin {
    root   /usr/local/www;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
  }

  # For all PHP requests, pass them on to PHP-FPM via FastCGI
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params; # include extra FCGI params
  }
}

Change ownership of Postfixadmin web directory:
```
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/postfixadmin
```

Restart nginx configuration:

service nginx configtest
service nginx restart

Run the dovecot and postfix startup scripts:
```
service dovecot start
service postfix start
```
- NOTE: Check your /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messages to make sure there are no errors.
- NOTE: If you are receiving errors in your logs about $mydestination, be sure that ANY ‘virtual’ domain you are hosting is NOT listed in your /etc/hosts file.

Visit https://mailadmin.example.com/setup.php and generate the password hash at the bottom of the page.
1. Copy the password hash into your /usr/local/www/postfixadmin/config.inc.php file on the $setup_password line.
2. Next, create a Super Admin Account using the password which created your password hash to submit the information. The username MUST be in email address format and the password for the Super Admin account DOES NOT need to be the same password which generated your password hash.

This guide uses superadmin@example.com as the newly created email user.

Setup SpamAssassin¶

It uses a robust scoring framework and plug-ins to integrate a wide range of advanced heuristic and statistical analysis tests on email headers and body text including text analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases.

Edit the spamassassin config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

And add the following to the bottom of the file:

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::PgSQL
bayes_sql_dsn DBI:pgsql:maiadb:pg.example.com:5432
bayes_sql_username maiauser
bayes_sql_password SuperSecretPassword
auto_whitelist_factory
endif

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::SQLBasedAddrList
user_awl_dsn DBI:pgsql:maiadb:pg.example.com:5432
user_awl_sql_username maiauser
user_awl_sql_password SuperSecretPassword
bayes_auto_expire 0
endif

# Change the below to reflect your correct internal and external networks.
internal_networks 192.168.0.0/24
trusted_networks 192.168.0.0/24 123.456.789.0/24

Start and enable spamassassin:

echo 'spamd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service sa-spamd start

Configure RAZOR for reporting:
```
su - vscan
razor-admin -discover
razor-admin -create
razor-admin -register -l -user=username@example.com -pass=some_password
exit
```
- NOTE: The above user should be an actual email address you check. The password can be any password you'd like. It's only needed by razor2 to identify and report spam.

Setup FuzzyOCR¶

The FuzzyOCR Plugin for SpamAssassin improves somewhat upon the standard OCR Plugin, in that it is capable of performing "fuzzy" matching of text strings. This makes it able to handle the innate inaccuracies of OCR engines, spelling mistakes, and deliberate obfuscation of words by spammers, without having to write a lot of explicit regular expression patterns to catch these variations.

Install Tesseract via ports:

portmaster graphics/tesseract devel/p5-IO-All-LWP

Copy FuzzyOcr files to SpamAssassin configuration directory:

cp /usr/local/share/examples/FuzzyOcr/FuzzyOcr.* /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin

Setup ClamAV¶

Enable ClamAV at boot time:

echo 'clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'clamav_clamd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Create the db, log and socket directories:

mkdir -p /var/{log,run,db}/clamav
chown -R vscan:vscan /var/{log,run,db}/clamav

Download the initial ClamAV definitions:
```
freshclam
```

Start FreshClam as well as the ClamAV daemon:

service clamav-freshclam start
service clamav-clamd start

Setup Maia Mailguard¶

Maia Mailguard is a web-based interface and management system based on the popular amavisd-new e-mail scanner and SpamAssassin. Written in Perl and PHP, Maia Mailguard gives end-users control over how their mail is processed by virus scanners and spam filters, while giving mail administrators the power to configure site-wide defaults and limits.

Populate the database:
```
cd /usr/local/share/doc/maia
psql -h pg.example.com -U maiauser -W maiadb < maia-pgsql.sql
```
- NOTE: I had a problem with the autolearn_status column causing problems when null values were inserted, and thus not delivering external email to the mail server. To work around this I reset the autolearn_status column default values:
```
psql -h pg.example.com -U maiauser -d maiadb
ALTER TABLE ONLY maia_mail ALTER COLUMN autolearn_status SET DEFAULT 'unavailable';
```

Edit the maia config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/maia/maia.conf

And modify the following:

# Configure your Maia database DSN here
$dsn = 'DBI:Pg:dbname=maiadb;host=pg.example.com;port=5432';

# Your Maia database user's login name
$username = 'maiauser';

# Your Maia database user's password
$password = 'SuperSecretPassword';

# Address rewriting type [0..5] (see config.php)
$address_rewriting_type = 4;

# Authentication method (see config.php)
$auth_method = 'sql';

# Base URL to Maia's PHP scripts
$base_url = "https://mail.example.com/maia/";

Run configtest.pl executable:

perl /usr/local/share/maia/scripts/configtest.pl

Load SpamAssassin rules:

sa-update
su - vscan
perl /usr/local/share/maia/scripts/load-sa-rules.pl --debug
exit

Edit maia config file:

vi /usr/local/www/maia/config.php

And modify the following

date_default_timezone_set("America/Los_Angeles");

$maia_sql_dsn = "pgsql://maiauser:SuperSecretPassword@tcp(pg.example.com:5432)/maiadb";

$purifier_cache = '/usr/local/www/maia/web';

$address_rewriting_type = 4;

$auth_method = "pop3";

Edit the smarty php file:
```
vi /usr/local/www/maia/smarty.php
```
- And delete the leading slash from the “/themes” bit on line 102. So, it should look like this:
```
$this->assign('template_dir', 'themes/'.$theme.'/');
```

Create a maia location block in the mail.example.com nginx config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/mail.example.com.conf

Add the following:

server {
  listen       80;
  listen       443 ssl;
  server_name  mail.example.com;
  root         /usr/local/www;
  access_log   /var/log/maia.example.com-access.log;
  error_log    /var/log/maia.example.com-error.log;

  # SSL Key and Cert
  ssl_certificate /usr/local/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.key;

  # Configure Strong SSL
  ssl_ciphers 'AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH:!aNULL';
  ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
  ssl_session_cache  builtin:1000  shared:SSL:10m;
  ssl_stapling on;
  ssl_stapling_verify on;
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
  ssl_dhparam /usr/local/etc/ssl/dhparams.pem;
  add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=63072000;
  add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
  add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;

  location /postfixadmin {
    root   /usr/local/www;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
  }

  location /maia {
    root   /usr/local/www;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
  }

  # For all PHP requests, pass them on to PHP-FPM via FastCGI
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params; # include extra FCGI params
  }
}

Restart nginx and php-fpm:

service nginx restart
service php-fpm restart

Visit https://mail.example.com/maia/admin/configtest.php and verify everything is working.

Create maia run directory:

mkdir /var/run/maia
chown vscan:vscan /var/run/maia

Create maia log directory:

mkdir /var/log/maia
chown vscan:vscan /var/log/maia

Edit maia daemon config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/maia/maiad.conf

And modify the following:

$lock_file = "/var/run/maia/maiad.lock";
$pid_file = "/var/run/maia/maiad.pid";

$mydomain = 'example.com';

$myhostname = 'mail.example.com';

@lookup_sql_dsn = ( ['DBI:Pg:dbname=maiadb;host=pg.example.com;port=5432', 'maiauser', 'SuperSecretPassword'] );

$unrar = ['rar', 'unrar'];

### http://www.clamav.net/
['ClamAV-clamd',
   \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"],
   qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/,
   qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

Set Maia-Mailguard to start at boot and start it now:

echo 'maiad_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service maiad start

Visit https://mail.example.com/maia/
- You should be greeted with a login screen. If so, great! Let’s log in and acquire admin privileges…

Instead of https://mail.example.com/maia/login.php (The default), visit https://maia.example.com/maia/login.php?super=register
- And log in with any currently existing virtual user. Be sure to use a full email address to log into Maia-Mailguard. This guide uses superadmin@example.com. That user will now have admin privs via Maia (So, be careful which user you choose).

Once logged into Maia-Mailguard as an administrator, click the Admin link at the top of the page (Key-shaped icon). Next, click System Configuration. Now adjust the Mail size limit to the limit set in the postfix main.cf file, in this case 25600000.

IMPORTANT: For each domain you create using Postfixadmin or any other way you may create it, Maia needs to know about it in order to create users. This might seem like a redundant issue, but it really makes a difference and here’s why. When Maia recieves mail for a user that doesn’t exist, it uses the default domain’s (@.) settings. This is fine. However, if it considers that mail to be spam when it is not, the user cannot retrieve that message later being as the default settings don’t house mail for a non-existant user.

So, be sure to add any domain you add via PostfixAdmin to Maia-Mailguard as well.

Edit main postfix file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

And modify the following:

# Maia-Mailguard
#
content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

Edit the master postfix file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf

And modify the following:

  -o smtp_data_done_timeout=2400
  -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
  -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
  -o max_use=20

  -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_address_mappings
  -o smtp_tls_security_level=none

Reload Postfix:
```
postfix reload
```

Edit the “vscan” user’s cronjobs:

crontab -u vscan -e

And add the following to the vscan users’s crontab.

Install Fetchmail¶

Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links.

Install fetchmail:
```
portmaster mail/fetchmail
```

Change the fetchmail config ownership:
```
chown vscan /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc
```

And change the fetchmail run directory to the vscan group:

chmod g+w /var/run/fetchmail
chgrp vscan /var/run/fetchmail

Edit the global fetchmailrc config:

vi /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc

And add the following:

set postmaster "postmaster@example.com" 
set no bouncemail
poll outsidemail.example.net with protocol pop3
  user "user@example.com" pass "SuperSecretEmailPassword" nofetchall keep no rewrite mda "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d user@example.com"

Test fetchmail:

sudo -u vscan fetchmail -f /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc

Fix the fetchmail init script:

vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail:

And add the -i /var/run/fetchmail/.fetchids line to the fetchmail_flags definition:

fetchmail_flags="-f ${fetchmail_config} \
                --pidfile ${pidfile} \
                -d ${fetchmail_polling_interval} \
                -i /var/run/fetchmail/.fechids \
                ${fetchmail_logging_facility}"

Start and enable fetchmail at boot:

echo 'fetchmail_user="vscan"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'fetchmail_polling_interval="180"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'fetchmail_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service fetchmail start

Install Postgrey¶

Greylisting is a new method of blocking significant amounts of spam at the mailserver level, but without resorting to heavyweight statistical analysis or other heuristical (and error-prone) approaches.

Install postgrey to add greylisting to postfix:
```
portmaster mail/postgrey
```

Start and enable postgrey at boot:

echo 'postgrey_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service postgrey start

Edit the main postfix config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

And modify the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter to add the check_policy_service option:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
  permit_mynetworks,
  permit_sasl_authenticated,
  reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
  reject_non_fqdn_sender,
  reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
  reject_unauth_destination,
  reject_unauth_pipelining,
  reject_invalid_hostname,
  reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
  reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,
  reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
  reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net,
  reject_rbl_client rhsbl.sorbs.net,
  reject_rbl_client db.wpbl.info,
  reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,
  reject_rbl_client proxies.blackholes.wirehub.net,
  reject_rbl_client query.bondedsender.org,
  check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023

Check the postfix config before reloading the service:
```
postfix check
```

Finally reload the postfix service:
```
service postfix reload
```

Install DKIM¶

DomainKeys Identified Mail lets an organization take responsibility for a message that is in transit. The organization is a handler of the message, either as its originator or as an intermediary. Their reputation is the basis for evaluating whether to trust the message for further handling, such as delivery. Technically DKIM provides a method for validating a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication.

Install OpenDKIM:
```
portmaster mail/opendkim
```

Then allow OpenDKIM starting at boot time and executing as opendkim user:

echo 'milteropendkim_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'milteropendkim_uid="opendkim"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Adding the opendkim user:

pw useradd -n opendkim -d /var/db/opendkim -g mail -m -s "/usr/sbin/nologin" -w no

Edit Postfix configuration file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

And instruct postfix to use dkim milter:

smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:8891
non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters
milter_default_action = accept

Use a sample configuration file for OpenDKIM:

cp /usr/local/share/doc/opendkim/opendkim.conf.simple /usr/local/etc/mail/opendkim.conf

Edit the configuration file:

vi /usr/local/etc/mail/opendkim.conf

Feel free to use the following one slightly edited to work with example.com domain:

LogWhy yes
Syslog yes
SyslogSuccess yes
Canonicalization relaxed/simple
Domain example.com
Selector example.com
KeyFile /var/db/opendkim/example.com.private
Socket inet:8891@localhost
ReportAddress portmaster@altservice.com
SendReports yes

Now generate the keys, one will be used by opendkim to sign your messages and the other to be inserted in your DNS zone:
```
opendkim-genkey -D /var/db/opendkim -d example.com -s example.com
```

Now insert example.com.txt content in example.com DNS zone.

cat /var/db/opendkim/example.com.txt

Example output:

example.com._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDOcRbLGARxEFI9Ibwx79tk1kMi36rFeAT4aLu4iI3ctPUWa7y0WcuMZGCBQMMutolT8IM9e55AToqtr/W/rbKlhoeiA0r8qJZiIX/NkjkLIXzR+9h1i47dD5zCu4u436YN0y4DgZU9bZ3D4hvoC9hSHCcCwzosSRwBpaxIMZuRGQIDAQAB" ; ----- DKIM example.com for example.com

NOTE: The DNS TXT record must be put on the global DNS server providing your domain name to the Internet.

Also add another TXT Record to your zone file:

_adsp._domainkey.mydomain.com IN TXT “dkim=unknown”

Start the opendkim service:
```
service milter-opendkim start
```

Restart postfix:
```
service postfix restart
```

Install DCC¶

Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse is an anti-spam content filter that runs on a variety of operating systems. The idea of the DCC is that if mail recipients could compare the mail they receive, they could recognize unsolicited bulk mail. A DCC server totals reports of "fuzzy" checksums of messages from clients and answers queries about the total counts for checksums of mail messages.

Reinstall spamassassin with DCC support:
```
cd /usr/ports/mail/spamassassin
make config
```
- Enable [X]DCC
- Reinstall spamassassin:
```
portmaster
```

Restart spamassassin:
```
service sa-spamd restart
```

Install SPF¶

Briefly, the design intent of the SPF resource record (RR) is to allow a receiving MTA (Message Transfer Agent) to interrogate the Name Server (DNS) of the domain which appears in the email (the sender) and determine if the originating IP of the mail (the source) is authorized to send mail for the sender's domain.

Install the postfix SPF policyd:

portmaster mail/postfix-policyd-spf-python

Edit the main postfix config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

And modify the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter to add the check_policy_service option:

policy-spf_time_limit = 3600s

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
  permit_mynetworks,
  permit_sasl_authenticated,
  reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
  reject_non_fqdn_sender,
  reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
  reject_unauth_destination,
  reject_unauth_pipelining,
  reject_invalid_hostname,
  reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
  reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,
  reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
  reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net,
  reject_rbl_client rhsbl.sorbs.net,
  reject_rbl_client db.wpbl.info,
  reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,
  reject_rbl_client proxies.blackholes.wirehub.net,
  reject_rbl_client query.bondedsender.org,
  check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023,
  check_policy_service unix:private/policy-spf

Edit the master postfix config file:

vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf

And add the following to the bottom of the file:

policy-spf  unix  -       n       n       -       -       spawn
     user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/policyd-spf

Reload postfix:
```
service postfix reload
```

Install Fail2ban¶

Install py-fail2ban:
```
portmaster security/py-fail2ban
```

Edit the ipfw action file:
```
vi /usr/local/etc/fail2ban/action.d/ipfw.conf
```
- And modify the localhost parameter to the IP address of the server:
```
localhost = 192.168.1.100
```

Create the local SSH file

vi /usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/ssh.conf

And add the following

[ssh-ipfw]
enabled  = true
filter   = sshd
logpath  = /var/log/auth.log
action   = ipfw
findtime  = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime  = 3600

Create the dovecot service definition:

vi /usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/dovecot-auth.conf

And add the following:

[dovecot]
enabled = true
filter  = dovecot
port    = pop3,pop3s,imap,imaps
logpath = /var/log/maillog
action   = ipfw
findtime  = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime  = 3600

Create the postfix service definition:

vi /usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/postfix-auth.conf

And add the following:

[postfix]
enabled = true
filter  = postfix
port    = smtp,ssmtp
logpath = /var/log/maillog
action   = ipfw
findtime  = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime  = 3600

Create the postfix sasl service definition:

vi /usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/postfix-sasl.conf

And add the following:

[postfix]
enabled = true
filter  = postfix-sasl
port    = smtp,ssmtp
logpath = /var/log/maillog
action   = ipfw
findtime  = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime  = 3600

Start and enable fail2ban at boot:

echo 'fail2ban_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service fail2ban start

To list current banned IP:
```
ipfw list
```
