I'm trying to set up postfix to reject messages to two specific usernames on our domains. The FreeBSD server is taking the messages, checking them for spam and viruses, then forwarding them on to our internal mail server.

In the /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf file, I added the line:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/access


I then added to the file /usr/local/etc/postfix/access:
username1@ REJECT
username2@ REJECT

I then ran the commands
postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/access
postfix stop && postfix start

Then using tail -f /var/log/maillog, I got the error:
Mar 9 10:28:16 myserver postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system
Mar 9 10:28:16 myserver postfix/master[66263]: terminating on signal 15

Mar 9 10:28:49 myserver postfix/master[73766]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling


I put in a hash mark for the smtpd_ line in main.cf and ran another postfix stop and start to get mail working again, but what am I doing wrong with the file?
