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 both OpenLDAP and MySQL backend.
• Available plugins:
  • ldap_maillist_access_policy: Used to restrict mail list access with OpenLDAP backend.
  • sql_alias_access_policy: Used to restrict alias access with MySQL backend.

Requirements

• Python >= 2.4, core programming language.
• Python-MySQLdb, is the Python DB API-2.0 interface.
• web.py >= 0.3.0, a web framework for python that is as simple as it is powerful.
• DBUtils, is a suite of tools providing solid, persistent and pooled connections to a database.
• iRedMail: All iRedMail versions should work as expected.

Install required python modules

• on RHEL/CentOS:

# yum install MySQL-python python-setuptools
# easy_install web.py DBUtils

• on Debian/Ubuntu:
• on FreeBSD:

Download and configure iRedAPD

• Download iRedAPD from download page.
• Copy iRedAPD to /opt/, set correct file permissions, and create symbol link.

# 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:

[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

• Start iRedAPD now.

# /etc/init.d/iredapd start

• Make iRedAPD start when boot your server.
  • on RHEL/CentOS:

    # chkconfig --level 345 iredapd on

  • on Debian/Ubuntu:

    $ update-rc.d iredapd defaults

  • on FreeBSD:

# ---- Edit /etc/rc.conf, append below line ----
iredapd_enable='YES'

Configure postfix

• In postfix main.cf, modify smtpd_recipient_restrictions setting:

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.

# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
