The issue:
Couple of days ago we faced spam attack from external IP that was using a real external domain to send around 7k email to different external domains like yahoo, hotmail, gmail ....etc, that i had to block that ip by the firewall manually,
- How to only allow defined domains in my "domain" mysql database and reject others (even if they were real having MX and A records) like the
reject_unlisted_sender
parameter behavior
Configurations:
- /etc/postfix/main.cf
