Hi,

Please pardon the noobie question. I looked through the list archives and also whatever docos I could locate online in an effort to help myself prior to posting to the list.

I just installed policyd-weight and would like to configure it alongside my postfix installation running on Debian etch system.

Here is my main.cf:

<snip>

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version


# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
delay_warning_time = 4h

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

myhostname = mail.example.com
mydomain = example.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mail/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination =$myhostname, $mydomain
relayhost =
relay_domains = $mydestination, example.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1, 69.192.26.135
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
alltransport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1

</snip>

So, am I correct in my understanding I can invoke policyd-weight by simply adding the line "check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:12525" to the bottom of my main.cf and then restart postfix?

Secondly, I thiought I read somewhere I should adjust the value $REJECTLEVEL to something like 4.5 rather than the default, and also change the value of ADD_X_HEADER from 1 to 0 - any recommendations on that? What is the purpose changing the ADD_X_HEADER value?

Finally, is there an easy way to verfiy all the BL sites in the default configuration are still valid? What about maintaining and updating these values, is that up to me as the administrator?



Thanks,

Dov

As noted in DEBUG_README, share the output of 'postconf -n' instead of
pasting your main.cf.

To understand how Postfix can be configured to interact with policy
servers, see: http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html.

This is the POSTFIX mailing list.

This is the POSTFIX mailing list.
