Postfix Open Relay Issue
Good day,
My postfix email server has been listed by dsnbl.njabl.org as an open relay, but I'm not sure why. I tested the server from another site, and it passes every test.
My main.cf is setup with the following:
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/header_checks
mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/mime_header_checks
body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/body_checks
resolve_dequoted_address = yes
smtpd_sender_restrictions =
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/dsn_exceptions,
reject_rhsbl_sender rhsbl.ahbl.org,
reject_rhsbl_sender hash:/etc/postfix/access
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/dsn_exceptions,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
permit_mynetworks,
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access,
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/dsn_exceptions,
reject_rbl_client relays.mail-abuse.org
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,
reject_rbl_client dnsbl.njabl.org,
reject_rbl_client cn.rbl.cluecentral.net,
reject_rbl_client
Is there something obvious that I'm missing here?
Thanks for your help -

did you look here
njabl.org
as my first line of defense I always send an email with telnet
Send Email via Telnet
and use bogus to's and from's so I can test for myself.
So the question is, can you connect to your mail server and not authenticate, and send an email?

So it looks like they said they were "postmaster@myemailserver.com", and my postfix was okay with that, even though the server they connected from was not myemailserver.com.... How would I adjust my config for that?
