Summary & Feature List

  • iRedAPD is designed to work in conjunction with Postfix as an Access Policy Delegation daemon, with plugin support.
  • Currently, it works with only OpenLDAP, but is easy to make it support MySQL with plugins.
  • Plugin: check user's rights to post messages to LDAP buildin mail list.

How to manage it

Requirements

  • Python >= 2.4, core programming language.
  • Python-LDAP >= 2.3.7. An object-oriented API to access LDAP directory servers from Python programs.
  • iRedMail >= 0.5.0

Install iRedAPD

We will configure iRedAPD as two postfix policy daemons.

  • Daemon listen on port 7777: Used in postfix smtpd_recipient_restrictions, for mail list deliver restriction.
  • Daemon listen on port 7778: Used in postfix smtpd_sender_restrictions, for per-user blacklist and whitelist.

Install required python modules

TIP: You can skip this step if you already have iRedAdmin installed.

Terminal: 
#
# ---- on RHEL/CentOS ----
#
# yum install python-ldap

#
# ---- on Debian/Ubuntu ----
#
$ sudo apt-get install python-ldap

#
# ---- on FreeBSD ----
#
# cd /usr/ports/net/py-ldap2 && make install clean

Download and configure iRedAPD

Terminal: 
# tar xjf iRedAPD-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
# ln -s /opt/iRedAPD-x.y.z /opt/iredapd
# chmod +x /opt/iredapd/src/iredapd.py

# ---- Copy necessary RC script to /etc/init.d/ (Linux) or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ (FreeBSD) ----
# cp /opt/iredapd/rc_scripts/iredapd /etc/init.d/iredapd
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/iredapd

# ---- Copy sample setting file ----
# cp /opt/iredapd/etc/iredapd.ini.sample /opt/iredapd/etc/iredapd.ini
  • Open /opt/iredapd/etc/iredapd.ini and set correct values.
File: /opt/iredapd/etc/iredapd.ini 
[general]
# Listen address and port.
listen_addr     = 127.0.0.1
listen_port     = 7777

# Background/daemon mode: yes, no.
run_as_daemon   = yes

# Path to pid file.
pid_file        = /var/run/iredapd.pid

# Log type: file.
log_type        = file
log_file        = /var/log/iredapd.log

# Log level: info, warning, error, debug.
# 'info' is recommended for product use.
log_level       = info

[ldap]
# LDAP server setting.
# Uri must starts with ldap:// or ldaps:// (TLS/SSL).
#
# Tip: You can get binddn, bindpw from /etc/postfix/ldap_*.cf.
#
uri         = ldap://127.0.0.1:389
binddn      = cn=vmail,dc=iredmail,dc=org
bindpw      = 5NC4VyRJdws3ounpcKJw9zXu0B8ou6
basedn      = o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org

# Enabled plugins.
plugins     = ldap_maillist_access_policy
  • Make iRedAPD start when boot your server.
Terminal: 
#
# ---- on RHEL/CentOS ----
#
# chkconfig --level 345 iredapd on

#
# ---- on Debian/Ubuntu ----
#
$ update-rc.d iredapd defaults

#
# ---- on FreeBSD, please edit /etc/rc.conf, append below line ----
#
iredapd_enable='YES'
  • Start iRedAPD now.
Terminal: 
#
# ---- On RHEL/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu ----
#
# /etc/init.d/iredapd start

#
# ---- On FreeBSD ----
#
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iredapd start

Configure postfix

In postfix main.cf, modify smtpd_recipient_restrictions setting:

File: /etc/postfix/main.cf 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
    ...
    check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:7777,
    permit_mynetworks,
    permit_sasl_authenticated,
    reject_unauth_destination,
    ...
  • Restart postfix to make it work.
Terminal: 
#
# ---- On RHEL/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu ----
#
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

#
# ---- On FreeBSD ----
#
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix restart

Available access policy levels

There're four default policy rules for mail list:

Restriction Comment Value of attribute 'accessPolicy' in LDAP
Unrestricted Email is unrestricted, which means everyone can mail to this address. public
Domain Wide Only users under same domain can send mail to this address. domain
Members Only Only members can send mail to this address membersOnly
Moderators Only Only moderators can send mail to this address allowedOnly

Troubleshooting & Debug

If iRedAPD doesn't work as expected, you can simplily set 'log_level = debug' in /opt/iredapd/etc/iredapd.ini, restart iredapd and monitor its log file /var/log/iredapd.log, create a new forum topic and paste log message in forum topic.
