The latest version of smeserver-wbl is available in the SME repository, click on the version number(s) for more information.

Description

Cette contrib installe une entrée dans le menu du server-manager pour indiquer des listes blanches (whitelists) et des listes noires (blacklists) définis par l'utilisateur de courriels.

Une liste blanche de messagerie est une liste d'hôtes, domaines ou adresses e-mail qui sera acceptée par SME Server indépendamment du contenu de spam ou l'origine possible. Les administrateurs doivent faire preuve de prudence lors de l'utilisation des listes blanches parce que le courrier électronique provenant d'adresses sur liste blanche contournera un grand nombre de mécanismes que la SME utilise pour identifier les courriels dangereux.

Une liste noire de messagerie est une liste d'hôtes, domaines ou adresses e-mail qui seront bloqués tout le temps.

Installation

Install of the lastest Email Whitelist-Blacklist package is from the smecontribs repo:

1. Install package:

For SME 8

yum --enablerepo smecontribs install smeserver-wbl

For SME 9

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-wbl

2. Reconfigure machine:

signal-event console-save

or if you prefer to reboot your server

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Once you do this a new menu item will be visable in the Server-Manager on the left hand side, called E-mail WBL. Clicking on this will present you with 3 buttons.

E-mail WBL
E-mail traffic is scanned and may be blocked due to the various screening methods enabled. 
You may use this panel to define e-mail white/black lists.
Black lists are used for rejecting e-mail traffic.
[REJECT]
White lists are used for accepting e-mail traffic.
[ACCEPT] 
When completed entering wbls above you must execute the email-update event to restart 
services and load in your changes.
[UPDATE]

If you press the REJECT button you will see the following window.

If you press the Accept button you will see the following window.

And finally If you press the UPDATE button you will simply be presented with one button to;

Execute the email-update event now to restart services and load in your changes.

This will apply any of the changes you made in the Reject or Accept windows.

Usage Examples

Black Lists: REJECT

The qpsmtpd badhelo is effective in examining the SMTP HELO string and then block mail based on this string. Entries follow the following format.

something.a.somehost.com

To find the proper string to enter on the qpsmtp badhelo line. 1. Open an offending email. 2. Open the header of the email. 3. Look for a line that says, (HELO something.a.somehost.com) Partial strings will not work, E.G. in the previous example somehost.com will not work. It must be the complete HELO string.

Note:

Using qpsmtpd badhelo will stop all mail at a domain that uses that specific HELO string. It's not looking at a specific email. This strategy isn't always effective as spammers generally change this field to stop this kind of detection. Also companies have several SMTP gateways so you may see mail from mail1.domain.com and mail2.domain.com . You will then need to add both of these. The advantage however is if you do want to stop all mail from one source, it can be effective.

Alternatively you may use the ip address. Again look in the header for the Helo line. It may look something like this,

Received: from smtprelay0207.c.somehost.com (HELO smtprelay.c.somehost.com) (123.111.123.321) Now simply add the IP address you found in the HELO line.

123.111.123.321

White Lists: ACCEPT
