Is that true? No. Carefully re-read the relevant sections of postconf(5): http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unlisted_recipient http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unlisted_sender http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_reject_unlisted_sender -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net>
