fetchmail through Ciphermail Gateway to separate Postfix+Dovecot server

gb flag

My constellation is as follows:

fetchmail on cmdgateway receives from the internet and pushes to postfix on mailserver, in turn pushing mail to dovecot also on mailserver

  1. server 1: cmgateway.domain.de, later is cmgateway Ciphermail encryption gateway appliance version with integrated postfix + fetchmail.
  2. server 2: mailserver.domain.de, later is mailserver postfix + dovecot . Postfix is configured to send mails over my smarthost.

What I want to achieve: cmgateway:fetchmail should pass to cmgateway:postfix should pass to mailserver:postfix.

What works: Over my mailserver:postfix I can send mails with a mail Client (thunderbird, outlook) via IMAP over Dovecot wonderfully.

What does not work and i want to archive is: cmgateway:postfix transfers found mails ( from fetchmail ) to my mailserver:postfix ( I can see this in the logs ),

BUT ( and here comes the problem )mailserver:postfix forwards these mails directly back out through my smarthost. It is supposed to deliver the mails locally though.

If I install a fetchmail directly on mailserver and tell it smtpaddress localhost, the fun works and it delivers to my local mailbox. But the mails should come from cmgateway:fetchmail.

I hope I could make my problem understandable. Are configs needed or is this a logical/basic understanding problem?

Thanks for your help in advance. Greetings Thomas

First Part solved

I would like to describe a follow-up problem and am unsure if I should have opened another post for this. The whole story is a connection of a postfix to a ciphermail encryption gateway, where the gateway (cmgateway) is hooked into an existing postfix as a content filter.

Thanks to your help I can now deliver mails locally with my mailserver:postfix and receive them via client using dovecot. What works is: When I send out mails via mailserver:postfix, the mail is actually sent to cmgateway:content-filter before, the mail is signed or encrypted, sent back and postfix sends it over my smarthost. Works great.

What does not work is: Since I RECEIVE mails via fetchmail and give them to my mailserver:postfix, these mails unfortunately don't go through my cmgateway:content-filter, which is totally stupid, since the mails are then not automatically checked and decrypted.

So my question is, what do I have to do that mails that go to my postfix via fetchmail are too processed trough my cmgateway:content-filter?

cmgateway - Ciphermail Gateway Appliance Postfix Settings and extra Djigzo Vars comes from the appliance, that I configured via GUI.

Style note: If you edit or ask new questions, please [use these instructions on obfuscation](https://meta.serverfault.com/questions/963/what-information-should-i-include-or-obfuscate-in-my-posts). It is usually easier to read if all servers are referred to by exactly one (possibly fully qualified) domain name. Where really necessary, only replace the domain part with standard reserved names (you currently use "server 2", "mailserver.domain.de" and "mailserver.mydomain.de").

You are right. I tried to clean up the text a little bit and replaced Mailserver2 thing with cmgateway, ect.

I think you quoted a mail from your diagnostic run, where you run fetchmail on "mailserver", which was not your original plan. Look at the Received: line inserted by fetchmail, and the next line from postfix noting a mail inserted via a loopback - they say "mailserver", not "cmgateway".

you are right. My actual configuration is fetchmail on mailserver, because I had the same problem with fetchmail on cmgateway and I didnt want to change the whole Question to make it overcomplex. I think it is my same logic failuren, no matter I run fetchmail on cmgateway or mailserver.

I don't see anything in your Postfix@Server2 configuration saying that it should deliver those mails locally. You have to tell Postfix that it is the "final destination" for a mail domain.

I recommend you add your domain to mydestination (the non-virtual setup, best suited for local users, which your Dovecot setting driver=pam indicates). That will fix the mail looping back out from the Postfix instance not knowing it is the destination for those.

About processing the mail from fetchmail through your gateway: I think that would happen, or at least produce meaningful diagnostic logs/headers, as soon as you actually try it. The headers you currently show do not seem to be a mail that was inserted to cmgateway by fetchmail, but rather a mail that was pulled by fetchmail running on mailserver.


Unrelated, but will improve some behaviour of your IMAP server: I would also recommend you deliver the mail via Dovecot LMTP (the default steps in the documentation should be fine), that way Dovecot will be the only program changing the mailbox.

Thank you for the information, adding mydomain to mydestination was definitely the solution. Postfix now delivers the mails it gets from the other postfix. On the second part, I don't know yet in detail what you mean exactly, but will have a look at the link you provided. Thanks for now.

anx, would you be so kind to have a look at my additions? thanks a lot for helping in advance.

I do not know. Maybe the headers of a mail would help figure out what is going on. That would trace the mail how it was received from the internet, downloaded by fetchmail, passed to postfix on server 1, (not) content_filter-ed by server 1 and then received by server 2. In any case, use `postconf -n` and `postconf -M` to dump configuration as it was parsed by postfix (right now I do not see the effective smtpd options for postfix on server 1).

I dont think any of the other details matter for the specific question "Why does my mail, submitted by fetchmail, not traverse through my configured content_filter?", so consider asking a separate question, this time quoting only (but this time fully) configurations relevant for the specific fetchmail & postfix instance you are trying to fix.

Thanks for not giving up here yet. I know it's incredibly hard to think about someone else's work, especially when there's only a few poorly formatted texts. I really appreciate your analysis here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
