BTW I noticed in the FAQ that there are hints on setting
fetchmail up
with
several different MDAs, but nothing for postfix. Are there any
handy
dandy
hints on using this combination?
Well, postfix is an MTA (though it may also contain an MDA, I don't
know enough about postfix). For all MTAs the standard solution is
to
leave fetchmail at it's default - passing mail to port 25/tcp on
localhost.
Oops my bad yes it's an MTA.
So the question is can fetchmail/postfix be configured to in
such away
that Postfix will recognize the true source of the spam and
reject them
before any additional processing takes place?
In short, no. Fetchmail can't fake the IP the mail is coming from.
I'm afraid you'll need to find some other way of filtering than by
the
source IP.
I'm not looking for fetchmail fake an IP. The problrm is that when
fetchmail retrieves the email from my ISP, Postfix, and prehaps rightly
so, thinks that the email is coming from me and therefore doesn't see that
it's coming from an address that I consider a spam address.
I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way for fetchmail, and or
Postfix to be configured such that Postfix will recognize that it's a
fetchmail feed and to look further into the originating address and to
then reject the email without further processing.
