You can enable an `access' map in Postfix by setting in your `main.cf' file: smtpd_client_restrictions = \ check_client_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/access Then, in `/usr/local/etc/postfix/access' put: [EMAIL PROTECTED] REJECT and run `postmap' on the `access' file: # postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/access Reload Postfix and off you go :-) There are other reject options too, which offer more fine-grained control of the SMTP error codes and the text of the error messages Postfix will return. See, for example: http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html
Close. But check_client_access is unlikely to be effective matching a recipient address. Use check_recipient_access instead. There are lots of examples on the postfix-users list. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
