Postfix does not support mailbox quota. But thanks to Anderson Nadal’s Postfix Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) patches, it can. To use the Postfix VDA requires two things, first Postfix must be built with the VDA patches and second, virtual user accounts must be used. You can get the Postfix RPM with VDA patches here.

(more…)Postgrey is a simple and powerful anti-spam tool for Postfix. It works by using a technique called Greylisting. Adding greylisting in Postfix will give your Postfix mail server a simple and effective first line of defense against spam, at a cost of a few minor delays for newly identified senders.
(more…)By default, Postfix listens on the SMTP port number 25. Some ISPs block this port number so you may wish to provide an alternate port number to listen to or change it altogether.
(more…)If your Postfix mail server has multiple IP addresses, it will use the same SMTP hostname greeting on every IP Address. This may cause a problem since some mail servers check the SMTP hostname banner to see if the hostname points to the same mail server. If not, any mail you send may be rejected or handled as spam. You can confirm if you have this problem by getting a DNS report on your domain name.
