/var/mail is a symlinks to /var/spool/mail. Ok, I managed to get the restrictions working so only users from a specific domain are able to relay. I specified a file (network_table) with CDIR notation e.g. 130.146.105.0/24 and specifyed my networks = /etc/postfix/network_table.
This works only for one machine which have an address of 130.146.105.x. Sending mails from other machines with the same IP-range (130.146.105.x), doesn't reach their final destination like gmail. The logfile says is it correctly relayed: Oct 17 12:10:33 new-presley postfix/smtpd[16570]: disconnect from bonham[130.146.105.250] Oct 17 12:10:33 new-presley postfix/smtp[16574]: 6CCDD38969: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=smtp.example.com[130.145.139.38]:25, delay=0.07, delays=0.05/0/0.01/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 m9HAAXeh014203 Message accepted for delivery) Oct 17 12:10:33 new-presley postfix/qmgr[16568]: 6CCDD38969: removed It looks like it's working, but mails won't be deliverd to eg gmail, except for mails sending from one machine.
