Description
This contrib provides a server-manager panel to designate user defined email whitelists and blacklists.
An email whitelist is a list of hosts, domains, or email addresses which will be accepted by SME Server regardless of possible spam content or origin. Administrators should use caution when using whitelists as email coming from whitelisted addresses will bypass many of the mechanisms that SME provides for identifying unsafe email messages.
An email blacklist is a list of hosts, domains, or email addresses that will be blocked all of the time.
Installation
Install of the lastest Email Whitelist-Blacklist package is from the smecontribs repo:
Install package:
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-wbl
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-wbl
Reconfigure machine:
signal-event console-save
or if you prefer to reboot your server
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
yum --enablerepo smecontribs install smeserver-wbl
Reconfigure machine:
signal-event console-save
or if you prefer to reboot your server
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Configure:
Once you do this a new menu item will be visable in the Server-Manager on the left hand side, called E-mail WBL. Traffic is scanned and may be blocked due to the various screening methods enabled. Clicking on this will present you with 3 buttons.
You may use this panel to define e-mail white/black lists and RBLs.
RBL's List is used to adjust DNSBL and RHSBL. [RBLs List]
Black lists are used for rejecting e-mail traffic. [Black List]
White lists are used for accepting e-mail traffic. [White List]
If you press the Black List button you will see the following window.
If you press the White List button you will see the following window.
If you press the RBLs List button you will see the following window.
And finally If you press the SAVE button this will apply any of the changes you made, wait for confirmation message.
Usage Examples
Black Lists: REJECT
Plugin: Helo
Format: some.host.domain
Add domains, hostnames, or perl regexp patterns to the <badhelo> config file; one per line.
https://github.com/smtpd/qpsmtpd/blob/master/plugins/helo
Matches in the <badhelo> config file, including yahoo.com and aol.com, which neither the real Yahoo or the real AOL use, but which spammers use a lot. Like qmail with the qregex patch, the <badhelo> file can also contain perl regular expressions. In addition to normal regexp processing, a pattern can start with a ! character, and get a negated (!~) match.
Plugin: Badmailfrom
Format: @host or user@host
This plugin also supports regular expression matches. This allows special patterns to be denied (e.g. FQDN-VERP, percent hack, bangs, double ats). Patterns are stored in the format pattern(\s+)response, where pattern is a Perl pattern expression. Don't forget to anchor the pattern (front ^ and back $) if you want to restrict it from matching anywhere in the string.
