SMTPD.CONF(5) File Formats Manual SMTPD.CONF(5)
smtpd.conf — SMTP daemon configuration file
smtpd.conf is the configuration file for the mail daemon
smtpd(8).
When mail arrives, each “RCPT TO:” command generates a mail
envelope. If an envelope matches any of a pre-designated set of
criteria (using the match directive), the message is accepted for
delivery. A copy of the message, as well as its associated
envelopes, is saved in the mail queue and later dispatched
according to an associated set of actions (using the action
directive). If an envelope does not match any options, it is
rejected. The match rules are evaluated sequentially, with the
first match winning.
The format of the configuration file is fairly flexible. The
current line can be extended over multiple lines using a
backslash (‘\’). Comments can be put anywhere in the file using
a hash mark (‘#’), and extend to the end of the current line.
Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text: the
comment is effective until the end of the entire block. Argument
names not beginning with a letter, digit, or underscore, as well
as reserved words (such as listen, match, and port), must be
quoted. Arguments containing whitespace should be surrounded by
double quotes (").
Macros can be defined that are later expanded in context. Macro
names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore, and may
contain any of those characters, but may not be reserved words.
Macros are not expanded inside quotes. For example:
lan_addr = "192.168.0.1"
listen on $lan_addr
listen on $lan_addr tls auth
The syntax of smtpd.conf is described below.
action name method [options]
When the queue runner processes an envelope from the mail
queue, it carries out the action name, selected by the
match ... action directive when the message was received.
The action directive provides configuration data for
delivery attempts. Required lookups are performed at the
time of each delivery attempt. Consequently, changing an
action directive or the files it references and
restarting the smtpd(8) daemon causes the changes to take
effect for subsequent delivery attempts for the
respective dispatcher name, even for messages that were
already stuck in the queue prior to the configuration
changes.
The delivery method parameter may be one of the
following:
expand-only
Only accept the message if a delivery method was
specified in an aliases or .forward file.
forward-only
Only accept the message if the recipient results
in a remote address after the processing of
aliases or forward file.
lmtp destination [rcpt-to]
Deliver the message to an LMTP server at
destination. The location may be expressed as
host:port or as a UNIX socket.
Optionally, rcpt-to might be specified to use the
recipient email address (after expansion) instead
of the local user in the LMTP session as RCPT TO.
maildir [pathname] [junk]
Deliver the message to the maildir in pathname if
specified, or by default to ~/Maildir.
The pathname may contain format specifiers that
are expanded before use (see “FORMAT
SPECIFIERS”).
If the junk argument is provided, the message
will be moved to the ‘Junk’ folder if it contains
a positive ‘X-Spam’ header. This folder will be
created under pathname if it does not yet exist.
mbox Deliver the message to the user's mbox with
mail.local(8).
mda command
Delegate the delivery to a command that receives
the message on its standard input (see “MDA
COMMANDS”).
The command may contain format specifiers that
are expanded before use (see “FORMAT
SPECIFIERS”).
relay Relay the message to another SMTP server.
The local delivery methods support additional options:
alias <table>
Use the mapping table for aliases(5) expansion.
ttl n{s|m|h|d}
Specify how long a message may remain in the
queue.
user username
Specify the username for performing the delivery,
to be looked up with getpwnam(3).
This is used for virtual hosting where a single
username is in charge of handling delivery for
all virtual users.
This option is not usable with the mbox delivery
method.
Only the delivery user's .forward file will be
processed.
userbase <table>
Use the mapping table for user lookups instead of
the getpwnam(3) function.
The userbase does not apply to the user option.
virtual <table>
Use the mapping table for virtual expansion. The
aliasing table format is described in table(5).
wrapper name
Use the wrapper specified in mda wrapper.
The relay delivery methods also support additional
options:
backup Operate as a backup mail exchanger delivering
messages to any mail exchanger with higher
priority.
backup mx name
Operate as a backup mail exchanger delivering
messages to any mail exchanger with higher
priority than mail exchanger identified as name.
helo heloname
Advertise heloname as the hostname to other mail
exchangers during the HELO phase.
helo-src <table>
Use the mapping table to look up a hostname
matching the source address, to advertise during
the HELO phase.
domain <domains>
Do not perform MX lookups but look up destination
domain in domains and use matching relay url as
relay host.
host relay-url
Do not perform MX lookups but relay messages to
the relay host described by relay-url. The
format for relay-url is
[proto://[label@]]host[:port]. The following
protocols are available:
smtp Normal SMTP session with
opportunistic STARTTLS (the default).
smtp+tls Normal SMTP session with mandatory
STARTTLS.
smtp+notls Plain text SMTP session without TLS.
lmtp LMTP session. port is required.
smtps SMTP session with forced TLS on
connection. The default port is 465.
Unless noted, port defaults to 25.
The label corresponds to an entry in a
credentials table, as documented in table(5). It
is used with the “smtp+tls” and “smtps” protocols
for authentication. Server certificates for
those protocols are verified by default.
pki pkiname
For secure connections, use the certificate
associated with pkiname (declared in a pki
directive) to prove the client's identity to the
remote mail server.
srs When relaying a mail resulting from a forward,
use the Sender Rewriting Scheme to rewrite sender
address.
tls [no-verify]
Require TLS to be used when relaying, using
mandatory STARTTLS by default. When used with a
smarthost, the protocol must not be
“smtp+notls://”. If no-verify is specified, do
not require a valid certificate.
protocols protostr
Define the protocol versions to be used for TLS
sessions. Refer to the
tls_config_parse_protocols(3) manpage for the
format of protostr.
ciphers cipherstr
Define the list of ciphers that may be used for
TLS sessions. Refer to the
tls_config_set_ciphers(3) manpage for the format
of cipherstr.
auth <table>
Use the mapping table for connecting to relay-url
using credentials. This option is usable only
with host option. The credential table format is
described in table(5).
mail-from mailaddr
Use mailaddr as the MAIL FROM address within the
SMTP transaction.
src sourceaddr | <sourceaddr>
Use the string or list table sourceaddr for the
source IP address, which is useful on machines
with multiple interfaces. If the list contains
more than one address, all of them are used in
such a way that traffic is routed as efficiently
as possible.
admd authservid
The Administrative Management Domain this mail server
belongs to. The authservid will be forwarded to filters
using it to identify or mark authentication-results
headers. If omitted, it defaults to the server name.
bounce warn-interval delay [, delay ...]
Send warning messages to the envelope sender when
temporary delivery failures cause a message to remain in
the queue for longer than delay. Each delay parameter
consists of a positive decimal integer and a unit s, m,
h, or d. At most four delay parameters can be specified.
The default is "bounce warn-interval 4h", sending a
single warning after four hours.
ca caname cert cafile
Associate the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file
cafile with ca entry caname. The ca entry can be
referenced in listener rules and relay actions.
filter chain-name chain {filter-name [, ...]}
Register a chain of filters chain-name, consisting of the
filters listed in filter-name. Filters in a filter chain
are executed in order of declaration for each phase that
they are registered for. A filter chain may be used in
place of a filter for any directive except filter chains
themselves.
filter filter-name phase phase-name match conditions decision
Register a filter filter-name. A decision about what to
do with the mail is taken at phase phase-name when
matching conditions. Phases, matching conditions, and
decisions are described in “MAIL FILTERING”, below.
filter filter-name proc proc-name
Register "proc" filter filter-name backed by the
proc-name process.
filter filter-name proc-exec command
Register and execute "proc" filter filter-name from
command, conformant with the smtpd-filters(7) API. If
command starts with a slash it is executed with an
absolute path, otherwise it will be run from
“/usr/local/libexec/smtpd/”.
include "pathname"
Replace this directive with the content of the additional
configuration file at the absolute pathname.
listen on interface [family] [options]
Listen on the interface for incoming connections, using
the same syntax as ifconfig(8). The interface parameter
may also be an interface group, an IP address, or a
domain name. Listening can optionally be restricted to a
specific address family, which can be either inet4 or
inet6.
The options are as follows:
auth [<authtable>]
Support SMTPAUTH: clients may only start SMTP
transactions after successful authentication.
Users are authenticated against either their own
normal login credentials or a credentials table
authtable, the format of which is described in
table(5).
auth-optional [<authtable>]
Support SMTPAUTH optionally: clients need not
authenticate, but may do so. This allows a
listen on directive to both accept incoming mail
from untrusted senders and permit outgoing mail
from authenticated users (using match auth). It
can be used in situations where it is not
possible to listen on a separate port (usually
the submission port, 587) for users to
authenticate.
ca caname
For secure connections, use the CA certificate
associated with caname (declared in a ca
directive) as the CA certificate when verifying
client certificates.
filter name
Apply filter name on connections handled by this
listener.
hostname hostname
Use hostname in the greeting banner instead of
the default server name.
hostnames <names>
Override the server name for specific addresses.
The names table contains a mapping of IP
addresses to hostnames. If the address on which
the connection arrives appears in the mapping,
the associated hostname is used.
mask-src
Omit the from part when prepending “Received”
headers.
no-dsn Disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification)
extension.
pki pkiname
For secure connections, use the certificate
associated with pkiname (declared in a pki
directive) to prove a mail server's identity.
This option can be used multiple times to provide
alternate certificates for SNI.
port [port]
Listen on the given port instead of the default
port 25.
proxy-v2
Support the PROXYv2 protocol, appropriately
rewriting the source address received from proxy.
received-auth
In “Received” headers, report whether the session
was authenticated and by which local user.
senders <users> [masquerade]
Look up the authenticated user in the users
mapping table to find the email addresses that
user is allowed to submit mail as. In addition,
if the masquerade option is provided, the From
header is rewritten to match the sender provided
in the SMTP session.
smtps Support SMTPS, by default on port 465. Mutually
exclusive with tls.
tag tag
Clients connecting to the listener are tagged
with the given tag.
tls Support STARTTLS, by default on port 25.
Mutually exclusive with smtps.
tls-require [verify]
Like tls, but force clients to establish a secure
connection before being allowed to start an SMTP
transaction. With the verify option, clients
must also provide a valid certificate to
establish an SMTP session.
protocols protostr
Define the protocol versions to be used for TLS
sessions. Refer to the
tls_config_parse_protocols(3) manpage for the
format of protostr.
ciphers cipherstr
Define the list of ciphers that may be used for
TLS sessions. Refer to the
tls_config_set_ciphers(3) manpage for the format
of cipherstr.
listen on socket [options]
Listen for incoming SMTP connections on the Unix domain
socket /var/run/smtpd.sock. This is done by default,
even if the directive is absent.
The options are as follows:
filter name
Apply filter name on connections handled by this
listener.
mask-src
Omit the from part when prepending “Received”
headers.
no-dsn Disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification)
extension.
tag tag
Clients connecting to the listener are tagged
with the given tag.
match options action name
If at least one mail envelope matches the options of one
match action directive, receive the incoming message, put
a copy into each matching envelope, and atomically save
the envelopes to the mail spool for later processing by
the respective dispatcher name.
The following matching options are supported and can all
be negated:
[!] for any
Specify that session may address any destination.
[!] for local
Specify that session may address any local
domain. This is the default, and may be omitted.
[!] for domain domain | <domain>
Specify that session may address the string or
list table domain.
[!] for domain regex domain | <domain>
Specify that session may address the regex or
regex table domain.
[!] for rcpt-to recipient | <recipient>
Specify that session may address the string or
list table recipient.
[!] for rcpt-to regex recipient | <recipient>
Specify that session may address the regex or
regex table recipient.
[!] from any
Specify that session may originate from any
source.
[!] from auth
Specify that session may originate from any
authenticated user, no matter the source IP
address.
[!] from auth user | <user>
Specify that session may originate from
authenticated user or user list user, no matter
the source IP address.
[!] from auth regex user | <user>
Specify that session may originate from
authenticated regex or regex list user, no matter
the source IP address.
[!] from local
Specify that session may only originate from a
local IP address, or from the local enqueuer.
This is the default, and may be omitted.
[!] from mail-from sender | <sender>
Specify that session may originate from sender or
sender list sender, no matter the source IP
address.
[!] from mail-from regex sender | <sender>
Specify that session may originate from regex or
regex list sender, no matter the source IP
address.
[!] from rdns
Specify that session may only originate from an
IP address that resolves to a reverse DNS.
[!] from rdns hostname | <hostname>
Specify that session may only originate from an
IP address that resolves to a reverse DNS
matching string or list string hostname.
[!] from rdns regex hostname | <hostname>
Specify that session may only originate from an
IP address that resolves to a reverse DNS
matching regex or list regex hostname.
[!] from socket
Specify that session may only originate from the
local enqueuer.
[!] from src address | <address>
Specify that session may only originate from
string or list table address which can be a
specific address or a subnet expressed in CIDR-
notation.
[!] from src regex address | <address>
Specify that session may only originate from
regex or regex table address which can be a
specific address or a subnet expressed in CIDR-
notation.
In addition, the following transaction options may be
matched:
[!] auth
Matches transactions which have been
authenticated.
[!] auth username | <username>
Matches transactions which have been
authenticated for user or user list username.
[!] auth regex username | <username>
Matches transactions which have been
authenticated for regex or regex list username.
[!] helo helo-name | <helo-name>
Specify that session's HELO / EHLO should match
the string or list table helo-name.
[!] helo regex helo-name | <helo-name>
Specify that session's HELO / EHLO should match
the regex or regex table helo-name.
[!] mail-from sender | <sender>
Specify that transaction's MAIL FROM should match
the string or list table sender.
[!] mail-from regex sender | <sender>
Specify that transaction's MAIL FROM should match
the regex or regex table sender.
[!] rcpt-to recipient | <recipient>

[!] tag regex tag
Matches transactions tagged with the given tag
regex.
[!] tls
Specify that transaction should take place in a
TLS channel.
match options reject
Reject the incoming message during the SMTP dialogue.
The same options are supported as for the match action
directive.
mda wrapper name command
Associate command with the mail delivery agent wrapper
named name. When a local delivery specifies a wrapper,
the command associated with the wrapper will be executed
instead. The command may contain format specifiers (see
“FORMAT SPECIFIERS”).
mta max-deferred number
When delivery to a given host is suspended due to
temporary failures, cache at most number envelopes for
that host such that they can be delivered as soon as
another delivery succeeds to that host. The default is
100.
pki pkiname cert certfile
Associate certificate file certfile with pki entry
pkiname. The pki entry defines a keypair configuration
that can be referenced in listener rules and relay
actions.
A certificate chain may be created by appending one or
many certificates, including a Certificate Authority
certificate, to certfile. The creation of certificates
is documented in starttls(8).
pki pkiname key keyfile
Associate the key located in keyfile with pki entry
pkiname.
pki pkiname dhe params
Specify the DHE parameters to use for DHE cipher suites
with pki entry pkiname. Valid parameter values are none,
legacy, and auto. For legacy, a fixed key length of 1024
bits is used, whereas for auto, the key length is
determined automatically. The default is none, which
disables DHE cipher suites.
proc proc-name command
Register an external process named proc-name from
command, conformant with the smtpd-filters(7) API. Such
processes may be used to share the same instance between
multiple filters. If command starts with a slash it is
executed with an absolute path, otherwise it will be run
from “/usr/local/libexec/smtpd/”.
queue compression
Store queue files in a compressed format. This may be
useful to save disk space.
queue encryption [key]
Encrypt queue files with EVP_aes_256_gcm(3). If no key
is specified, it is read with getpass(3). If the string
stdin or a single dash (‘-’) is given instead of a key,
the key is read from the standard input.
queue ttl delay
Set the default expiration time for temporarily
undeliverable messages, given as a positive decimal
integer followed by a unit s, m, h, or d. The default is
four days (4d).
smtp ciphers control
Set the control string for SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3).
The default is "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5".
smtp limit max-mails count
Limit the number of messages to count for each session.
The default is 100.
smtp limit max-rcpt count
Limit the number of recipients to count for each
transaction. The default is 1000.
smtp max-message-size size
Reject messages larger than size, given as a positive
number of bytes or as a string to be parsed with
scan_scaled(3). The default is "35M".
smtp sub-addr-delim character
When resolving the local part of a local email address,
ignore the ASCII character and all characters following
it. The default is ‘+’.
srs key secret
Set the secret key to use for SRS, the Sender Rewriting
Scheme.
srs key backup secret
Set a backup secret key to use as a fallback for SRS.
This can be used to implement SRS key rotation.
srs ttl delay
Set the time-to-live delay for SRS envelopes. After this
delay, a bounce reply to the SRS address will be
discarded to limit risks of forged addresses. The
default is four days (4d).
table name [type:]pathname
Tables provide additional configuration information for
smtpd(8) in the form of lists or key-value mappings. The
format of the entries depends on what the table is used
for. Refer to table(5) for the exhaustive documentation.
Each table is identified by an arbitrary, unique name.
If the type is db, information is stored in a file
created with makemap(8); if it is file or omitted,
information is stored in a plain text file using the
format described in table(5). The pathname to the file
must be absolute.
table name {value [, ...]}
Instead of using a separate file, declare a list table
containing the given static values. The table must
contain at least one value and may declare multiple
values as a comma-separated (whitespace optional) list.
table name {key=value [, ...]}
Instead of using a separate file, declare a mapping table
containing the given static key-value pairs. The table
must contain at least one key-value pair and may declare
multiple pairs as a comma-separated (whitespace optional)
list.
MAIL FILTERING
In a regular workflow, smtpd(8) may accept or reject a message
based only on the content of envelopes. Its decisions are about
the handling of the message, not about the handling of an active
session.
Filtering extends the decision making process by allowing
smtpd(8) to stop at each phase of an SMTP session, check that
conditions are met, then decide if a session is allowed to move
forward.
With filtering, a session may be interrupted at any phase before
an envelope is complete. A message may also be rejected after
being submitted, regardless of whether the envelope was accepted
or not.
The following phases are currently supported:
connect upon connection, before a banner is displayed
helo after HELO command is submitted
ehlo after EHLO command is submitted
mail-from after MAIL FROM command is submitted
rcpt-to after RCPT TO command is submitted
data after DATA command is submitted
commit after message is fully is submitted
At each phase, various conditions may be matched. The fcrdns,
rdns, and src data are available in all phases, but other data
must have been already submitted before they are available.
fcrdns forward-confirmed reverse DNS is
valid
rdns session has a reverse DNS
rdns <table> session has a reverse DNS in table
src <table> source address is in table
helo <table> helo name is in table
auth session is authenticated
auth <table> session username is in table
mail-from <table> sender address is in table
rcpt-to <table> recipient address is in table
These conditions may all be negated by prefixing them with an
exclamation mark:
!fcrdns forward-confirmed reverse DNS is
invalid
Any conditions using a table may indicate that the table contains
regular expressions by prefixing the table name with the keyword
regex.
helo regex <table> helo name matches a regex in table
Finally, a number of decisions may be taken:
bypass the session or transaction
bypasses filters
disconnect message the session is disconnected with
message
junk the session or transaction is
junked, i.e., an ‘X-Spam: yes’
header is added to any messages
reject message the command is rejected with
message
rewrite value the command parameter is rewritten
with value
Decisions that involve a message require that the message be RFC
valid, meaning that they should either start with a 4xx or 5xx
status code. Decisions can be taken at any phase, though junking
can only happen before a message is committed.
FORMAT SPECIFIERS
Some configuration directives support expansion of their
parameters at runtime. Such directives (for example action
maildir, action mda) may use format specifiers which are expanded
before delivery or relaying. The following formats are currently
supported:
%{sender} sender email address, may be empty
string
%{sender.user} user part of the sender email address,
may be empty
%{sender.domain} domain part of the sender email
address, may be empty
%{rcpt} recipient email address
%{rcpt.user} user part of the recipient email
address
%{rcpt.domain} domain part of the recipient email
address
%{dest} recipient email address after
expansion
%{dest.user} user part after expansion
%{dest.domain} domain part after expansion
%{user.username} local user
%{user.directory} home directory of the local user
%{mbox.from} name used in mbox From separator lines
%{mda} mda command, only available for mda
wrappers
Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the
optional bracket notations with substring offset. For example,
with recipient domain “example.org”:
%{rcpt.domain[0]} expands to “e”
%{rcpt.domain[1]} expands to “x”
%{rcpt.domain[8:]} expands to “org”
%{rcpt.domain[-3:]} expands to “org”
%{rcpt.domain[0:6]} expands to “example”
%{rcpt.domain[0:-4]} expands to “example”
In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token. For example,
with recipient “User+Tag@Example.org”:
%{rcpt:lowercase} expands to
“user+tag@example.org”
%{rcpt:uppercase} expands to
“USER+TAG@EXAMPLE.ORG”
%{rcpt:strip} expands to “User@Example.org”
%{rcpt:lowercase|strip} expands to “user@example.org”
For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and
potentially dangerous characters are replaced with ‘:’. In
situations where they are desirable, the “raw” modifier may be
applied. For example, with recipient “user+t?g@example.org”:
%{rcpt} expands to “user+t:g@example.org”
%{rcpt:raw} expands to “user+t?g@example.org”
MDA COMMANDS
When an action delivery method is mda, smtpd(8) runs the
associated command for the delivery with the mail content
provided via standard input. The command is expected to read all
the mail content.
The exit code of the command reports the outcome of the delivery:
status 0 (EX_OK) is a successful delivery; status 71 (EX_OSERR)
and 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) are temporary failures; and all other exit
status are considered permanent failures.
The following environment variables are set:
DOMAIN The recipient domain.
EXTENSION The sub address of the recipient (may be
unset).
HOME The delivery user's login directory.
LOCAL The local part of the recipient user address.
LOGNAME The login name of the user.
ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT The address of the original recipient.
PATH Set to _PATH_DEFPATH. Traditionally
/usr/bin:/bin, but expanded to include
/usr/sbin, /sbin, /usr/X11R6/bin,
/usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/sbin in
OpenBSD.
RECIPIENT The address of the final recipient.
SENDER The address of the sender (might be empty).
SHELL Set to /bin/sh.
USER Synonym of LOGNAME for backwards
compatibility.
/etc/mail/smtpd.conf Default smtpd(8) configuration file.
/etc/mail/mailname If this file exists, the first line is
used as the server name. Otherwise, the
server name is derived from the local
hostname returned by gethostname(3),
either directly if it is a fully
qualified domain name, or by retrieving
the associated canonical name through
getaddrinfo(3).
/var/run/smtpd.sock Unix domain socket for incoming SMTP
connections.
/var/spool/smtpd/ Spool directories for mail during
processing.
The default smtpd.conf file which ships with OpenBSD listens on
the loopback network interface (lo0) and allows for mail from
users and daemons on the local machine, as well as permitting
email to remote servers. Some more complex configurations are
given below.
This first example is similar to the default configuration, but
all outgoing mail is forwarded to a remote SMTP server. A
secrets file is needed to specify a username and password:
# touch /etc/mail/secrets
# chmod 640 /etc/mail/secrets
# chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
# echo "bob username:password" > /etc/mail/secrets
smtpd.conf would look like this:
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
table secrets file:/etc/mail/secrets
listen on lo0
action "local_mail" mbox alias <aliases>
action "outbound" relay host smtp+tls://bob@smtp.example.com \
auth <secrets>
match from local for local action "local_mail"
match from local for any action "outbound"
In this second example, the aim is to permit mail delivery and
relaying only for users that can authenticate (using their normal
login credentials). An RSA certificate must be provided to prove
the server's identity. The mail server listens on all interfaces
the default routes point to. Mail with a local destination is
sent to an external MDA. First, the RSA certificate is created:
# openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key 4096
# openssl req -new -x509 -key /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key \
-out /etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt -days 365
# chmod 600 /etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt
# chmod 600 /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key
In the example above, a certificate valid for one year was
created. The configuration file would look like this:
pki mail.example.com cert "/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt"
pki mail.example.com key "/etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key"
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
listen on lo0
listen on egress tls pki mail.example.com auth
action mda_with_aliases mda "/path/to/mda -f -" alias <aliases>
action mda_without_aliases mda "/path/to/mda -f -"
action "outbound" relay
match for local action mda_with_aliases
match from any for domain example.com action mda_without_aliases
match for any action "outbound"
match auth from any for any action "outbound"
For sites that wish to sign messages using DKIM, the following
example uses opensmtpd-filter-dkimsign for DKIM signing:
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
filter "dkimsign" proc-exec "filter-dkimsign -d <domain> -s <selector> \

Alternatively, the opensmtpd-filter-rspamd package may be used to
provide integration with rspamd, a third-party daemon which
provides multiple antispam features as well as DKIM signing. As
well as configuring rspamd itself, it requires use of the
proc-exec keyword:
filter "rspamd" proc-exec "filter-rspamd"
Sites that accept non-local messages may be able to cut down on
the volume of spam received by rejecting forged messages that
claim to be from the local domain. The following example uses a
list table other-relays to specify the IP addresses of relays
that may legitimately originate mail with the owner's domain as
the sender.
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
table other-relays file:/etc/mail/other-relays
listen on lo0
listen on egress
action "local_mail" mbox alias <aliases>
action "outbound" relay
match for local action "local_mail"
match for any action "outbound"
match !from src <other-relays> mail-from "@example.com" for any \
reject
match from any for domain example.com action "local_mail"
