How to disable the www-data user to send emails with postfix

Sometimes an insecure configuration allows spammer to use the www-data user to send emails with you postfix server.
Normally this is the case, when you get a bunch of error email from your mailserver, that some emails from www-data@hostname.tld could not be delivered.

To be sure, that this situation cannot exist, you can add the www-data user to a block list:
In /etc/postfix/main.cf just add


authorized_submit_users = !www-data, static:all


and restart you postfix server.
You will now get a lot of error in you log like this one:


postfix/sendmail[8563]: fatal: User www-data(33) is not allowed to submit mail


After some time, the spammers will hopefully loose interest in you server :-).
