address verify expire time modify

Post by hiandras »

Hi,

postconf -d shows:
address_verify_negative_expire_time = 3d

address_verify_positive_expire_time = 31d
I think these are some default values and they are way too much.
How can I modify them? (I cannot find them in the postfix cf files.
Tried to add them, but won't make any difference)

Regards,
Andras

After you add them, you have to restart postfix.

It does not work for me. :(

I put:
address_verify_negative_expire_time = 1d
address_verify_negative_refresh_time = 2h
address_verify_positive_expire_time = 1d
address_verify_positive_refresh_time = 4h
to the end of /etc/postfix/main.cf

then run "service postfix reload" (also tried with restart).

But the values does not change, when I list in postconf -d.

What are you trying to do, and are you even using address verification in postfix?

Yes, I use address verification.

I added "reject_unverified_recipient" to the "smtpd_recipient_restrictions =" string and put "unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550" at the and of mail.cf.

I relay the mails to an exchange server and efa still excepts mail for addresses which are deleted more than 10 days ago.
I want them rejected by efa.

I admit, this one has me a bit baffled. I will turn on address verification on mine and see if I can come to the same conclusion.

Sorry to bug you! Have you came to the same conclusion?
Do you have any idea, how to overcome this?

Regads,
