test / test (push) Waiting to run
sender check: a Sender: line is held to the rule From: is held to
The owner's decision (2026-10-16) on the security review's F1: a Sender:
line - the sending agent's, shown beside From: as "on behalf of", and
signed since 2.8.0 - was neither held to the login nor, before, signed: an
application could write its own From: and Sender: ceo@bank.com under this
server's signature. Now, when a message has one, it must be one address
the application may send as, and at most one such line (RFC 5322 § 3.6);
From: is judged first.

The refusal is "550 5.7.1 Sender: <address> - <why>", a send-log row of
reason "sender" (store.ReasonSender), tagged "wrong Sender"; the message
page names the line. The log tailer recovers such a row from cleanup's line
as it does a From: refusal (fromRefusalRe reads either). Help text as in
the design commit d9d9af3; guide, architecture, security and CHANGELOG say
it, security.md keeps Resent-From: (signed, not judged) as an accepted
risk.

Tests: TestSenderLineHeldToTheSameRule (own address, a name, another
application's, a stranger's, two addresses, two lines, From: first), the
recovery of a Sender: refusal line, the tag, the message page; e2e
sender_check_holds_the_sender_line (own Sender: passes and is signed,
another domain's refused at DATA and logged).

// Postfix's line about a message the journal milter refused at MAIL FROM - a
// level-2 limit, a client address off the application's list - is put on the
// row the milter wrote, so the message's page shows it (audit 2026-10-12,
// stage 2b). The refusal has no queue id; it is matched to its row by client
// address, login, sender and time:
//
// postfix/smtpd[1149]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: MAIL from unknown[10.77.0.1]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<billing@sender.e2e.test> proto=ESMTP helo=<e2e-client.e2e.test> sasl_username=<l2app>

// Postfix 3.10.13, src/smtpd/smtpd.c, check_milter_reply(): "%s: %s: %s from
// %s: %s;%s" with "NOQUEUE" before the queue file is opened, and
// smtpd_whatsup() for the rest: " from=<..>", " to=<..>", " proto=..",
// " helo=<..>", then " sasl_username=<..>" when the session authenticated
// (assumptions A-20, A-21). smtpd's own refusals are another function,
// src/smtpd/smtpd_check.c, log_whatsup(), whose line says "reject:", not
// "milter-reject:", and since 3.10 ends in " sasl_method=%s sasl_username=%s"
// without the brackets; it is not one of these. The login is read at the end
// of the line, where Postfix puts it last; a line without one is no
// application's refusal - the journal milter refuses at MAIL FROM only an
// authenticated session (milter/ratelimit.go). The HELO name before it is the client's text and can
// end in what looks like the field, but only in a session that has no login,
// and so no refused row to take the line; a row must also be of the line's
