Topic: black list

one question about blacklists, are they working properly ?
I am asking because I have blocked the following domain: @yahoo.co.jp as a sender and as a DNS Name ...
but still I received 2 emails from : abohjohn1101@yahoo.co.jp how is this possible when the entire domain is blocked ?

Any idea ?

Thank You
Best regards

Re: black list

it happens also with other domains, the entire domain is blocked but some of the users can still send the emails from
that domain...

Re: black list

- May i know how you manage blacklists? with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- Is there any related log in Postfix log file when these spam emails arrived?
- Could you please paste related postfix log and full mail header of certain spam mails to help troubleshoot?

Re: black list

Postfix config looks fine, still no idea why blacklist doesn't work.
But here's another simple way to block mails from AOL or Yahoo! Japan.

You already have this setting in Postfix:

smtpd_helo_restrictions = ..., check_helo_access pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre

So we can update /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre to blacklist mails from AOL or Yahoo! Japan.
Mail source shows the HELO identity of AOL is xxxx.aol.com, so we can reject it with below setting in /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre (simply append below content to this file):

/aol\.com$/ REJECT

Restarting Postfix is not required, Postfix will detect file change and load it automatically.

For Yahoo! Japan, try to find the rule of its HELO identities, then update /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre again.

Re: black list

I see, but I have 2 questions now.

1. can we add this HELO identify via iRedAdmin or we have to add it manually in /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre ?

2. what about other emails from "aol" there is some users at aol who email with our users, I assume these emails
will not be blocked ?

Thank You very much for helping

Re: black list

1: Manually.
2: If so, you cannot do it this way. Use Policyd instead.

Please try monitoring Postfix log file, make sure Policyd is working. You will see some log entries like "greylist=new", etc..
Also, could you please take a screenshot to show us the blacklist page of iRedAdmin-Pro? so that we can know what records you added, to make sure it's correct format.
