NS8: How to Block Top-Level Domains (TLD) and Email Addresses

  1. Access the leader node through SSH.

  2. Launch a shell in the rspamd container.
    sudo runagent -m mail1 podman exec -ti rspamd sh

  3. Create the directory “dynamic” in /var/lib/rspamd, if it does not exist.
    mkdir /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic

  4. Create the file multimap.conf in /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic.
    vi /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic/multimap.conf

  5. Insert the following content into the file multimap.conf. Save & Exit.

    BLOCK_SENDER_FROM_TLD {
        type = "from";
        filter = 'email:domain:tld';
        symbol = "BLOCK_SENDER_FROM_TLD";
        prefilter = true;
        map = ["${DBDIR}/local_bl_from_tld.map.inc"];
        regexp = true;
        description = "TLD from Blacklist";
        action = "reject";
        message = "Sender Domain REJECTED";
    }
    
    BLOCK_SENDER_FROM {
        type = "header";
        header = "from";
        filter = 'email';
        symbol = "BLOCK_SENDER_FROM";
        map = ["${DBDIR}/local_bl_from.map.inc"];
        description = "Email Address from Blacklist";
        action = "reject";
        message = "Sender Email Address REJECTED";
    }
    
  6. Set the owner on the directory /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic to ‘rspamd’.
    chown -R rspamd: /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic

  7. Set the permissions on the directory /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic.
    chmod -c 750 /var/lib/rspamd/dynamic

  8. Create the file local_bl_from_tld.map.inc /var/lib/rspamd.
    vi local_bl_from_tld.map.inc

  9. Add the top-level domain(s) to blacklist in the file. Save & Exit.
    [.]best

  10. Create the file local_bl_from.map.inc in /var/lib/rspamd.
    vi local_bl_from.map.inc

  11. Add the email address(es) to blacklist in the file. Save & Exit.
    info@publiclibrary.best

  12. Set the owner on the files to ‘rspamd’.
    chown rspamd: /var/lib/rspamd/local_bl_from_tld.map.inc
    chown rspamd: /var/lib/rspamd/local_bl_from.map.inc

  13. Set the permissions on the files.
    chmod -c 644 /var/lib/rspamd/local_bl_from_tld.map.inc
    chmod -c 644 /var/lib/rspamd/local_bl_from.map.inc

  14. Check the config of rspamd.
    rspamadm configtest
     If no errors, the result will be: syntax OK

  15. Reload the rspamd config.
    reload-config

  16. Exit the container shell.
    exit

  17. Exit the SSH session.
    exit
