NAME

Mail::Decency::ContentFilter

SYNOPSIS

    use Mail::Decency::ContentFilter;
    
    my $content_filter = Mail::Decency::ContentFilter->new( {
        config => '/etc/decency/content-filter.yml'
    } );
    
    $content_filter->run;

DESCRIPTION

Postfix:Decency::ContentFilter implements multiple content filter

POSTFIX

You have to edit two files: master.cf and main.cf in /etc/postfix

master.cf

Add the following to the end of your master.cf file:

    # the decency server itself
    decency     unix  -       -       n       -       4        smtp
        -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
        -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
        -o max_use=20
        -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
        -o disable_mime_output_conversion=yes
        -o smtp_destination_recipient_limit=1
    
    # re-inject mails from decency for delivery
    127.0.0.1:10250      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
        -o content_filter= 
        -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_header_body_checks,no_milters
        -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination,permit
        -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
        -o smtpd_authorized_xforward_hosts=127.0.0.0/8

main.cf

There are two possible ways you can include this content filter into postfix. The first is via content_filter, the second via check_*_access, eg check_client_access.

  • content_filter

    The advantage: it is easy. The disadvantage: all mails (incoming, outgoing) will be filtered. In a one-mailserver-for-all configuration this might be ugly.

        # main.cf
        content_filter = decency:127.0.0.1:16000
  • Via check_*_access

    And example using pcre on all mails would be:

        # main.cf
        smtpd_client_restrictions =
            # ...
            check_client_access = pcre:/etc/postfix/decency-filter, reject
            # ...

    Then in the /etc/postfix/decency-filter file:

        # /path/to/access
        /./ FILTER decency:127.0.0.1:16000

CONFIG

Provide either a hashref or a YAML file.
