Prevent Fake E-Mails with Postfix

1

I have a secure and almost-properly-configured SMTP/Dovecot server running, but I do have a problem.

As it's currently set up, anyone (who has valid credentials) can send e-mail from any address in existence. (user@example.com can send from user@anothersite.com or user2@example.com)

Is there a way to not send the e-mail if:

  • The e-mail has a From: header that isn't part of example.com
  • The e-mail has a From: header that is not:
    • The actual sender
    • An Alias of the actual sender

My /etc/postfix/main.cf:

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version


# Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

readme_directory = no

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail.key

smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes
#smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
#smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = mail.example.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname

content_filter = scan:127.0.0.1:10026

smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:12301
