pfixtools

The pfixtools project is a collection of postfix-related tools. The pfixtools are written in C.

The project currently includes two daemons:

pfix-srsd
pfix-srsd is a tcptable lookup service for postfix which performs SRS encoding and decoding.
postlicyd
postlicyd is a very flexible policy daemon for postfix. It can be used as a replacement for tools like whitelister and postgrey. It is able to access R(H)BL databases by DNS or by directly reading rbldns zone files. It also supports SPF and provides rate control policies.

Download

The sources are availble from the  git repository of the project.

Previous versions (see ChangeLog):

Installation

Supported platforms

The pfixtools have been currently successfully compiled and installed on the following platorms:

  • Linux: gentoo, debian etch, debian lenny (stable), arch linux
  • MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

Known bugs:

  • dns lookup crashed on debian lenny due to a bug in the version of libunbound shipped in the distribution. A workaround is to manually install a more recent version of the library (known to work with libunbound 1.4).

Other platforms might work with some Makefile tuning if gcc is available.

Requirements

The following libraries are required to build and run the pfixtools 0.6:

The following are build-time dependencies:

  • gcc: 4.0 or later
  • pkg-config (postlicyd only)
  • gperf (postlicyd only)
  • libpcre3 (postlicyd only)
  • xmlto, docbook-xsl and asciidoc to build the documentation (this is only a stub of documentation)

Compilation

To install the pfixtools, just run make all doc and sudo make install.

If you don't want to compile all the tools, you can run make toolname and sudo make install-toolname. You can also specify the installation prefix and a sandbox path sudo make install prefix=/my/prefix DESTDIR=/my/sandbox.
