This only affects mail when it enters postfix (or more specifically, when it leaves the content_filter). Mail already in the queue will not be affected. Mail that bypasses the content_filter will not be affected.

Why is "to=" logged above? There must be a recipient address to look up the recipient MX.


I sent the test message after I made the last adjustment (replacement of the 
space with a comma) to the master.cf. I saw the message traverse the 
content_filter (amavisd):

amavis[2669]: (02669-11) Passed CLEAN, MYNETS LOCAL [192.168.x.xxx] 
[192.168.x.xxx]  -> , Message-ID: , mail_id: DX9iOWagdlkP, Hits: -3.748, size: 
671, queued_as: 386063B91282, 316 ms

 then try and deliver directly, as apposed via the smarthost, hence the error 
messages.

I believe the list software must have detected and removed the email address in the 
"to=" field
in order to stop email address harvesting.

you're being too creative. Now why would it remove the message-id?

don't accuse the list software. do you think the list software will remove the addresses below:
        first: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        second: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        third: to=
(ok, the third one is a joke...)

It is _your_ (ht)mailer which fixes your writing, because it doesn't believe in your ability to write correctly (it thinks angle brakets are reserved for html). I am only surprised that it didn't add (TM) after "316 ms" and that it didn't fix "MYNETS" (should be "MSN Yet").

anyway, this gives me an idea:
Q- how to block hotmail users "kindly"?
A- Ask them to put "<notspam>" (or "<secret>") in their message.

sorry, couldn't resist...

I double checked and it was definitely there in the log and in the email I sent 
to the list. The email address coincides with clubzone.com domain. What else 
can I try to debug?

first remove (or hold) the old mail or requeue it. then make sure the message passes via the smtpd where you added the check_mx_access call. As Noel said, use postmap to test your map, and if needed use -v to get more logs.
