is rumored to have said:

I have a postfix 3.10 installation up & running. Postfix and dovecot handle mail reception from the inet, dovecot/587 users sending to the local domains or into the internet.

Is there a possibility of having some kind of "local" restriction for a specific (or a set of) local users (coming in via dovecot imap/587 smtp) to *SEND* emails?

If you're using Dovecot for submission and want help with Dovecot, it is probably best to ask that question of the Dovecot community...

I forgot to mention amavisd.

Which does not influence any answer.

And IF dovecot is the best angle of attack, I do not know.

Neither do I. People who actually use Dovecot for submission might know.

Maybe some kind of policy driven solution coming from postfix/amavis/dovecot in combination driven by pf is?

I'm not even sure whether Dovecot's submission facility ever talks to Postfix. It MIGHT in your case, but it also MIGHT be using some other MTA somewhere else.

People who actually use Dovecot for submission might know the right questions to ask to figure out what you're doing.

If you were using Postfix for submission, there would be a way to do what you want using SMTP restriction classes. If you only need to do it for one user, you may not even need that. For those approaches to work with Dovecot, your system would need to pass all submitted mail to your Postfix for relay. If you were to do that, why submit via Dovecot at all?

I am not aware that dovecot does such checking - possibly with sieve. At least I didnt use the proper search keywords so far...

If in fact you have Dovecot listening on 587, you need a Dovecot answer. This is not the Dovecot mailing list.
