Regex and Postfix_header_checks.in Not working

[bradrose90]

So, we are testing this out ... but we got this nasty Received: section popping thru on the email

Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
by vmail.redibank.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id E140523509
for <bradrose@hotmail.com>; Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:49:43 -0700 (MST)

with ESMTP id BAN22YuUkJm3; Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:49:43 -0700 (MST)

Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:49:43 -0700 (MST)

So I have tried just about everything in the forums including the postfix_header_checks.in which I am including here.

Please note: Am trying for simplicity first...
(first 4 lines removed)
/^Received: from localhost/ IGNORE
/^X-Mailer: Z/ IGNORE

Theoretically this should remove the localhost line... but it does not.
I did restart using:
zmmtactl stop; zmmtactl start

This shouldn't be rocket science but it is feeling like it.

Thanks,

Brad

Update:
Modified external firewall to strip out the whacked headers; but still, curious to see why the regex doesn't work.
I don't consider this solved.

Pattern match may have been wrong

/^Received: from localhost.*/ IGNORE

For some reason this postconf variable isn't getting set properly on my Release 6.0.6_GA_2330.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition.

zimbra$ zmlocalconfig postfix_header_checks
postfix_header_checks = pcre:${zimbra_home}/conf/postfix_header_checks

# /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postconf | grep header_checks
header_checks =

Fix like so:

# /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postconf -e header_checks=pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks
# /opt/zimbra/bin/postfix reload

Now you can go edit postfix_header_checks (not the .in file).
It's write only, so I just used `:!w` in vi as root to override. You might have to `chmod +w` the file.

Apply the changes by running:

# /opt/zimbra/bin/postfix reload

FWIW, I'm only bothering with all this hacking so I can have something close to a mailman list on my zimbra server. (reply-to). I know the developers are only concerned with doing their best work, and I appreciate what they've come up with so far, so I'll eat my rage and frustration for now and simply insist that Bug 15664 &ndash; Add reply-to option for distribution lists would be REALLY NICE.

It would be of more use if you added your vote to that bug report, that's what gets the developers attention.

[fm_ian]

I added my vote! Lets hope it makes a difference!

I also voted for...
https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8968

Which, at 43 votes and 4 years of age, should be completed any time now, right?

...

Fix like so:

# /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postconf -e header_checks=pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks
# /opt/zimbra/bin/postfix reload

Unfortunately, that won't actually fix it. main.cf is managed by zmmtaconfig, and it will erase your change to header_checks when it re-writes the main.cf config file. See:

$ postconf -e header_checks=pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks
$ grep header_check /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf
header_checks = pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks
$ postfix stop; postfix start
 ...
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
$ grep header_check /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf
header_checks =

I created a bug today regarding this issue, being stymied in the attempt to add a header check. See: Bug 52942 &ndash; enable use of Postfix header_checks in conjunction with Amavis banned attachment warnings
