Using my own Postfix, filtering spam and getting all the mail into my ISP's inbox
- by djechelon
Hello,
I currently own a domain bought via GoDaddy.com, which provides me a basic email setup for the most common needs. I configured it to forward all mail to [email protected] to [email protected]. I also own a virtual server with a running Postfix that I use for a specific website (all mail to somedomain.com gets forwarded via LMTP to a program written by me).
Since I'm recently experiencing some harassing by spammers, since GoDaddy doesn't seem to filter spam, and since my Windows Phone's Pocket Outlook cannot filter spam, I would like to use SpamAssassin to filter inbound spam by changing my domain's MX records to my server
My ideal setup is the following:
All mail delivered to somedomain.com gets redirected via LMTP as usual via virtual transport without any spam check
All mail to [email protected] gets redirected to [email protected] after a severe spam check
I don't care about [email protected] since I use just one address for now
I would like to train SpamAssassin with customized spam rules, possibly based on the presence of certain keywords (links to certain unsubscribe pages I found recurring)
I currently configured Postfix with
transport
somedomain.com lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:8025
.somedomain.com error: Cannot accept mail for this domain
relay
somedomain.com OK
(I guess I should add mydomain.com OK too)
virtual
@mydomain.com [email protected]
(looks like a catch-all rule, it's OK as requirement 3)
I installed SpamAssassin, I can do rcspamd start and set it to boot with the server, but I don't know if there is anything else to do for use in Postfix, and how to apply requirement 1 (only mail to mydomain.com gets filtered)
I also tried to send an email via Telnet to make sure my settings are ready for MX change. I received the message into my account but I found that it gone through secureserver.net, like Postfix didn't rewrite the destination but simply relayed the message.
Thank you in advance. I'm no expert in SpamAssassin, and I have little experience in Postfix (enough to avoid making my server an open relay)
