whitelist mail from own host
Hello list,

here is a part of the header from a mail I like to whitelist:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=6.958 tagged_above=-999 required=5
tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, NO_RELAYS=-0.001, SPOOF_COM2COM=2.272,
SPOOF_COM2OTH=2.044, URIBL_BLACK=1.955, URIBL_PH_SURBL=1.787,
URIBL_WS_SURBL=1.5]
Received: from server.mydomain.tld ([127.0.0.1])
by localhost (server.mydomain.tld [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024)
with LMTP id YNy7nG6dpfBy for <root[at]server.mydomain.tld>;
Tue, 6 May 2008 03:06:45 +0200 (CEST)
Received: by server.mydomain.tld (Postfix, from userid 0)
id 158EE552D2F; Tue, 6 May 2008 03:06:45 +0200 (CEST)
To: root[at]server.mydomain.tld
From: stats[at]server.mydomain.tld

The mail contains some mail statistics and therefore sometimes some URIs which
are blacklisted. I can not change the content. That's why I like to use:
whitelist_from_rcvd stats[at]server.mydomain.tld mydomain.tld

But that will not work! How can I whitelist this mail without
using 'whitelist_from stats[at]server.mydomain.tld'?

Thanks
Stefan

add a spf record for this domain incl the subdomain :-)

then whitelist_auth *@server.mydomain.tld

adjust the whitelist score so it not default -100 but enough to get the mail
through

def_whitelist_auth *@mydomain.tld
whitelist_auth *@server.mydomain.tld

or

unwhitelist_auth *@mydomain.tld
whitelist_auth user[at]mydomain.tld

but add apf for a start

use this to be safe:

v=spf1 mx +all

i know some will say this is bad with +all, but think one more time then :-)

Yes, that's a possibility, but I can not do that. At least not in the near
future. Any other ideas?

I see from your headers that you use postfix and amavdis-new, and that
such messages are submitted with the sendmail command. if you trust the
machine (no php mail to outside), then you can skip filtering for mail
submitted via sendmail. to do so, just add
-o content_filter=
to the "pickup" service in master.cf

if you don't trust the machine, things get a bit more complex but it's
still feasible.

alternatively, use amavisd-new (policy banks, whitelists, ...). but if
you rely on the sender address, make sure to reject it in your smtpd
(you don't want to give spammers an open road).

I don't speak for OP, but here is an example:

I want to be able to also send mail via my ISP (free.fr) using my own
email address, and since my ISP doesn't publish SPF records nor a list
of official outgoing servers, I can't afford to guess them (if one of
the authorized IP is later allocated to a spammer, this may ruin my
domain reputation. and if a new outgoing server is added, some servers
may block may mail).

Of course, I won't use a +all, because this is generally a sign spam (at
least this is how it is considered).

Now, OP can use DKIM, which doesn't interfere with relaying.

blocking a sender in postfix is trivial. adding SPF support requires
additionnal software (and configuration...).

also, he can block a set of "internal/reserved" senders, and still allow
the domain (In contrast, SPF applies to the whole domain).

That's a very good solution. Also saves me for equal problems in the future.
Thanks mouss!
