postfix+dovecot+mysql in FreeBSD

Introduction

I wanted to study the mail server for a long time, but I only managed to get around to it now, plus I couldn't find much accurate information, so I decided to write as detailed a publication as possible. This publication will cover not only postfix, dovecot, mysql, postfixadmin, but also spamassassin, clamav-milter (a special version of clamav for mail servers), postgrey, and the possibility of moving spam to the 'Spam' folder (dovecot-pigeonhole).

Preparation

First, let's install the packages needed for operation (postfix, dovecot, and dovecot-pigeonhole need to be installed from the ports; dovecot-sieve can generally be installed from packages, but ports may have newer versions, which can lead to compatibility issues between dovecot and dovecot-sieve). We will install the following packages:

pkg install apache24 php73 mod_php73 php73-extensions php73-mysqli php73-mbstring php73-openssl clamav-milter postgrey spamassassin mysql57-server openssl wget

After installation, we will add the necessary services to autostart:

#postfix и dovecot также добавим, чтобы не возвращаться к этому позже
sysrc postfix_enable="YES"
sysrc dovecot_enable="YES"

sysrc mysql_enable="YES"
sysrc apache24_enable="YES"

sysrc spamd_flags="-u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd"
sysrc spamd_enable="YES"

sysrc postgrey_enable="YES"

sysrc clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
sysrc clamav_milter_enable="YES"
sysrc clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"
#freshclam будем использовать как службу и проверять обновления 12 раз
sysrc clamav_freshclam_flags="--daemon --checks=12"

Let's start the services:

service apache24 start
service mysql-server start
#Before starting spamassassin, the databases need to be updated and rules compiled
sa-update
sa-compile
service sa-spamd start
#Perform clamav database updates before starting
freshclam
service clamav-clamd start
service clamav-freshclam start
service clamav-milter start
#Before starting postgrey, edit the initialization script (\/usr\/local\/etc\/rc.d\/postgrey). To ensure senders are moved to the 'whitelist' after 4 attempts to send emails, find the line: ${postgrey_flags:=--inet=10023} and change it to:
: ${postgrey_flags:=--inet=10023 --auto-whitelist-clients=4}
service postgrey start

Don't forget to add the necessary lines for PHP operation in apache and correct working of postfixadmin in httpd.conf:

SetHandler application/x-httpd-php


    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source



    DirectoryIndex index.php


#Also, it is necessary to change the home directory for the correct operation of postfixadmin

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/postfixadmin-3.2/public"

Next, you need to navigate to the directory and download postfixadmin

cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data

Let's download postfixadmin (as of the time of writing, the current version was 3.2)

wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/files/postfixadmin/postfixadmin-3.2/postfixadmin-3.2.tar.gz

After that, it is necessary to extract the archive in this directory and change the directory ownership:

gzip -d postfixadmin-3.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf postfixadmin-3.2.tar
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data
service apache24 restart

Next, we will prepare the database for postfixadmin. Execute the mysql-secure-installation script (the password you create in this script will also need to be set in MySQL using the alter user command) for initial MySQL configuration. Then, enter MySQL, create a database, and set permissions for it:

mysql -p -r
alter user 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'password123';
create database postfix;
grant all privileges on postfix.* to 'postfix'@'localhost' identified by 'password123';
exit

Once the database is configured, you need to edit the config.inc.php file. In this example, this file is located in the directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/postfixadmin-3.2/. You need to edit several lines in this file and modify them accordingly. After changing the settings, restart Apache. Additionally, create the templates_c directory in /usr/local/www/apache24/data/postfixadmin-3.2 and set its owner to www:

mkdir /usr/local/www/apache24/data/postfixadmin-3.2/templates_c
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/postfixadmin-3.2/templates_c

$CONF['configured'] = true
# This hash must be generated in the web interface of postfixadmin and added to this line.
$CONF['setup_password'] = 'dd28fb2139a3bca426f02f60e6877fd5:13d2703c477b0ab85858e3ac5e076a0a7a477315';
$CONF['default_language'] = 'en'
$CONF['database_type'] = 'mysqli';
$CONF['database_host'] = 'localhost';
$CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix';
# Password and name of the database created in this example
$CONF['database_password'] = 'password123';
$CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix';

service apache24 restart

SSL

To generate the key, we will use the method suggested on the postfix.org website, creating our own certificate authority. Go to the directory /etc/ssl and execute the script:

cd /etc/ssl
/usr/local/openssl/misc/CA.pl -newca

During the script execution, you will be prompted for a name for the certificate. Do not enter anything, just press Enter. Then the script will ask you to create a password for the certificate, after which there will be standard questions for creating the certificate.

Next, you need to create a private key (without a password) and an unsigned public key certificate (the Organizational Unit Name (e.g., section) [] should differ from that in the certificate created above):

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout foo-key.pem -out foo-req.pem

We will sign the public key certificate (specify the number of days as needed):

openssl ca -out foo-cert.pem -days 365 -infiles foo-req.pem

Leave the generated certificates in this directory, or move them to the directory that is more convenient for you. The postfix and dovecot configurations will be set up considering that the certificates will be located in this directory.

User vmail

Before starting the installation of postfix, dovecot, and dovecot-pigeonhole, let's create the user and group (the group will be created automatically) vmail, as well as the directory where the mail will be stored.

pw useradd -n vmail -s /usr/sbin/nologin -u 1000 -d /var/vmail

Let's create a directory for the mail and set the owner to the vmail user:

mkdir /var/vmail
chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail
chmod -R 744 /var/vmail

Postfix, dovecot, dovecot-pigeonhole

As I mentioned earlier, we will build these applications from ports. Execute the command to download and unpack the ports:

portsnap fetch extract

After unpacking the ports, go to the dovecot directory, configure the port (be sure to enable mysql support), and start the build (BATCH=yes will tell make not to ask questions during installation):

cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot
make config
make BATCH=yes install clean

Repeat the same steps for postfix and dovecot-pigeonhole.

dovecot-pigeonhole:

cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot-pigeonhole
make BATCH=yes install clean

postfix: also enable mysql support in the port configuration

cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix-sasl
make config
make BATCH=yes install clean

Before starting dovecot, copy the configurations:

 cp -R /usr/local/etc/dovecot/example-config/* /usr/local/etc/dovecot

After installing postfix and dovecot, start the services:

service postfix start
service dovecot start

It is also necessary to create a directory where the module for forwarding spam to the spam folder will be compiled. In my case, this directory is in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d. The directory name is def, let's create this directory and a file with code for compilation and set the owner of this directory to the vmail user:

mkdir /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/def
touch /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/def/default.sieve
chown -R vmail:vmail /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/def
chmod -R 744 /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/def

Place the following lines into this file:

require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
    fileinto "Junk";
}

Configurations

In this section, I will provide examples of configurations with comments in them. I am only unsure about the spamassassin configuration, as I haven't found correct descriptions online (I left the default configuration). Please add in the comments how to better configure spamassassin.

Postfix

First, you need to create files to retrieve users, domains, and quotas from the database. Create a directory for storing these files and the necessary files:

mkdir /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql
touch /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql/relay_domains.cf
touch /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_alias_maps.cf
touch /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_alias_domain_maps.cf
touch /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_mailbox_maps.cf

The contents of these files will be as follows:
relay_domains.cf

hosts = 127.0.0.1
user = postfix
password = password123
dbname = postfix
query = SELECT domain FROM domain WHERE domain='%s' and backupmx = '1'

virtual_alias_maps.cf

hosts = 127.0.0.1
user = postfix
password = password123
dbname = postfix
query = SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active ='1'

virtual_alias_domain_maps.cf

hosts = 127.0.0.1
user = postfix
password = password123
dbname = postfix
query = SELECT goto FROM alias,alias_domain WHERE alias_domain.alias_domain = '%d' and alias.address = CONCAT('%u', '@', alias_domain.target_domain) AND alias.active = '1'

virtual_mailbox_maps.cf

hosts = 127.0.0.1
user = postfix
password = password123
dbname = postfix
query = SELECT maildir FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = '1'

Spamassassin

The spamassassin configuration looks like this, but something tells me these settings are not sufficient, please assist with this configuration:

local.cf

rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
report_safe 0
required_score 5.0
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Shortcircuit
endif # Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Shortcircuit

It is also necessary to train on emails both with spam and without:

sa-learn --spam /path/spam/folder
sa-learn --ham /path/ham/folder

Additional

In this section, I will specify the firewall settings based on pf, we will add pf to auto-start and specify the file with the rules:

sysrc pf_enable="YES"
sysrc pf_rules="/etc/0.pf"

We will create a file with the rules:

ee /etc/0.pf

And we will add the rules to it:

#Данный параметр(не фильтровать интерфейс lo0) обязательно необходимо указывать первым, или он не сработает
set skip on lo0

#Настроим доступ к необходимым портам пользователям deovecot, postfix, root
pass in quick proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port {53,25,465,587,110,143,993,995} user {dovecot,postfix,root} flags S/SA modulate state
pass out quick proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port {53,25,465,587,110,143,993,995} user {dovecot,postfix,root}

#разрешить любой исходящий трафик для пользователя root
pass out quick proto {tcp,udp} from any to any user root

#Разрешить заходить на вэб интерфейс
pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port 80 flags S/SA modulate state

#SSH
pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port 22 flags S/SA modulate state

#Разрешить доступ в сеть пользователям clamav и spamd 
pass out quick proto {tcp,udp} from any to any user {clamav,spamd}

#DNS и ICMP
pass out quick proto {tcp,udp} from any to any port=53 keep state
pass out quick proto icmp from any to any

block from any to any fragment
block from any to any
block all

pf can be started with the command:

service pf start

Testing

To test all possible connections (STARTTLS, SSL), you can use a mobile client (in my case for iOS) "MyOffice Mail", in this application there are many parameters for configuring connections to the mail server.

To test Spamassassin, use the GTUBE signature, add the following line to the email:

XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X

If everything is correct, the email will be marked as spam and correspondingly moved to the spam folder.

To test the antivirus, you need to send an email with a text file that contains the EICAR string:

X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Naturally, emails need to be sent from external mailboxes.
To view logs in real time, run:

tail -f /var/log/maillog

For proper testing of email delivery to external mailboxes (e.g., yandex.ru, mail.ru, gmail.com, etc.), it is necessary to configure the reverse DNS zone (PTR record). This can be done by contacting your provider (unless you have your own DNS server).

Output

It may seem that setting up a mail server is quite complicated, but if you take the time to configure it, you can achieve a highly functional mail server with protection against spam and viruses.

P.S. If you plan to 'copy-paste' with comments, you need to add the root user (and those who need it) to the logs class russian:

pw usermod root -L russian

After these actions, Russian characters will be displayed correctly.
