title: Children Protection for Postfix-based EMail-Server
date: 2013-06-27
-->
This small tool implements a whitelist on a Postfix mail-server. It prevents certain recipient addresses (your kids ones) from
receiving mail from any not whitelisted address. Any mail from not whitelisted senders is redirected to a delegate (a parent).
The code for this tool can is here: [https://gitea.hottis.de/wn/childprot](https://gitea.hottis.de/wn/childprot).
Configure the tool by adding this line into the `master.cf` of the Postfix installation:
```
childprot unix - n n - 25 spawn user=mail argv=/opt/sbin/ChildProt
```
and this one to the `main.cf`:
```
check_policy_service unix:private/childprot
```
The restricted recipients and the whitelists are stored in an SQLite3 database:
```
CREATE TABLE child_address_t (
child INTEGER REFERENCES child_t(id),
address TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE child_t (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT,
delegate TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE whitelist_t (
child INTEGER REFERENCES child_t(id),
address TEXT
);
CREATE VIEW child_v AS
SELECT c.id as id,
c.delegate as delegate,
ca.address as address
FROM child_t c,
child_address_t ca
WHERE c.id = ca.child;
```
Restricted persons together with their delegates are added to the table `child_t`, multiple addresses can be assigned to those persons in
`child_address_t`. Whitelists per person are maintained in `whitelist_t`.
The tool is querying the view `child_v`.
**Note: The code is unmaintained and here only for documentary reasons. It is not meant to be used any longer.**
