So I've a target Postfix backup server to keep the messages in a queue waiting for the primary server to become available. This ensures that if my primary MX goes down I do not loss any emails. However, spammers are connecting to my backup MX to avoid anti spam filters that are running on the primary MX server. This also hides their real IP from my primary MX. How do I configure anti-spam for my backup RHEL / CentOS 5.3 based Postfix mx server?]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-backup-mx-server-anti-spam/feed/ 13 Postfix Configure Multiple ISP Client SMTP Authenticationhttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-multiple-isp-accounts-smarthost-smtp-client/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-multiple-isp-accounts-smarthost-smtp-client/#comments Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:00:32 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/?p=3447 How do I support multiple ISP accounts in the Postfix SMTP client (smarthost) for relaying email? For example:

[a] user1@isp1.com must be relay via smtp.isp1.com.
[b] user1@isp2.com must be relay via smtp.isp2.com.
[c] me@mycorp.com must relay all my default email via smtp.mycorp.com.

This is probably done to reduce abuse and spam but now I'm not able to send email and local Postfix log file displays authentication failure message. How do I relay mail through my mail ISP servers using Postfix SMTP under Linux / UNIX like operating systems? ]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-smtp-authentication-for-mail-servers/feed/ 13 Bind Postfix Mail Server To Localhost or Specific IP Address Onlyhttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-receive-mail-on-specific-network-interfaces/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-receive-mail-on-specific-network-interfaces/#comments Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:13:42 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/?p=1102 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-receive-mail-on-specific-network-interfaces/feed/ 2
