Automatic Email Encryption for Postfix

Date: 2019
Author: Ladislav Hajzer

About

This is a postfix content filter written in BASH scripting language which automatically encrypt email messages with email encryption standards as S/MIME and PGP/MIME.

How it works

  1. Internal email server receive email message from some application/system thru SMTP (with TLS) or SMTPS.
  2. Email message goes to Postfix "input" queue.
  3. Email message goes to Postfix content filter (BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER).

Note: If original email has multiple recipients (MAIL TO:), then email server Postfix will generate single recipient emails which are then passed to the Postfix content filter. For example, if original (unmodified) email will have three recipients, postfix will create three emails with single recipient and those three emails are then passed separatelly to the Postfix content filter.

  1. BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER analyze email header MAIL FROM: and compared with list of exceptions. If sender/source email address is listed in encryption exception list then original email message is forwarded (unmodified) to Postfix "output" queue.
  2. BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER analyze email header RCP TO: and compared with list of exceptions. If recipient/destination email address is listed in encryption exception list then original email message is forwarded (unmodified) to Postfix "output" queue.
  3. BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER check if S/MIME public certificate is stored (as file) in directory structure of BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER (/var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/smime).

Note: If S/MIME certificate is present then S/MIME encryption is possible.

  1. BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER check if PGP public key is stored (as file) in directory structure of BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER (/var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp).

Note: If PGP/GPG public key is present then PGP/MIME encryption is possible.

  1. If BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER is unable to encrypt email with S/MIME or PGP/MIME then original email body is modified original content is replaced with information email with information that email cannot be encrypted and with information where to send S/MIME public certificate or PGP/GPG public key.

Note: Example of modified email body is in the section "Example - Informational email message".

  1. If BASH-POSTFIX-ENCRYPT-FILTER can create S/MIME or PGP/MIME encrypted email from original email message, then encrypted email is created and then forwarded to Postfix "output" queue.

  1. Set maximal number of recipiemts per message delivery for encrypt filter transport.
# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set the maximal number of recipients per message delivery for transport "bash-encrypt-content-filter".
# Setting this parameter to a value of 1 affects email deliveries as follows:
# - It changes the meaning of the corresponding per-destination concurrency limit, from concurrency
#   of deliveries to the same domain into concurrency of deliveries to the same recipient. Different
#   recipients are delivered in parallel, subject to the process limits specified in master.cf.
# - It changes the meaning of the corresponding per-destination rate delay, from the delay between
#   deliveries to the same domain into the delay between deliveries to the same recipient. Again,
#   different recipients are delivered in parallel, subject to the process limits specified in master.cf.
# - It changes the meaning of other corresponding per-destination settings in a similar manner, from
#   settings for delivery to the same domain into settings for delivery to the same recipient.

  1. Convert type enforcement file (.te) into a policy module (.mod).
# cd /etc/selinux
# checkmodule -M -m -o postfix-lh.mod postfix-lh.te
  1. Compile policy module (.mod) into policy package (.pp).
# semodule_package -o postfix-lh.pp -m postfix-lh.mod
  1. Load SeLinux Policy Package module "postfix-lh.pp" into running system.
# semodule -i postfix-lh.pp
  1. Upload SMIME certificates in the form "[email protected]" to SMIME directory (/var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp) for each recipient email address for which is needed to encrypt email messsage + set correct owner and permissions.
# cp /tmp/[email protected] /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/smime/
# chown -R bash-postfix-encrypt-filter:root /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/smime/[email protected]
# chmod -R 400 /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/smime/[email protected]
  1. Upload PGP/GPG public key in the form "[email protected]" to PGP directory (/var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp) for each recipient email address for which is needed to encrypt email messsage + set correct owner and permissions.
# cp /tmp/[email protected] /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp/
# chown -R bash-postfix-encrypt-filter:root /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp/[email protected]
# chmod -R 400 /var/spool/postfix/bash-postfix-encrypt-filter/pgp/[email protected]
