- mkdir -p /etc/postfix/ssl
- Generate self-signed certificate using:
- openssl req -new -x509 -days 999 -nodes -out postfix.pem -keyout postfix.pem
- chown postfix:postfix postfix.pem
- chmod 400 postfix.pem
- Add following lines to /etc/postfix/main.cf
- smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/postfix.pem
- smtpd_tls_key_file = $smtpd_tls_cert_file
- smtpd_tls_security_level = may
- smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
- smtp_tls_security_level = may
- smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
-
- where lines starting with smtp_ configure postfix to also send outgoing emails using TLS.
- Add following lines after commented smtps line in /etc/postfix/master.cf
- smtps inet n - n - - smtpd
- -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
- -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_sender=yes
- -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
- -o broken_sasl_auth_clients=yes
- service postfix restart
- Verify using "netstat -alnp | grep master" that postfix is listening on both port 25 and port 465
Note that if smtp auth is enabled, then disabling plaintext auth over nonencrypted channels using:
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext
smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous
is causing postfix to not work. Hence we depend on user to prefer TLS over unecrypted channel for plaintext authentication.
Please also refer to CentOS 7.x Enable submission 587 port for postfix
