Hello list, This might be working as intended, but since it seemed a tad odd and I couldn't find any conclusive documentation that explained it, I figured I'd work up the courage and ask. I moved 'check_sender_access' from the 'smtpd_sender_restrictions' to the 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions' stage, and ran a test;
Out: 220 nenya.dtnx.net ESMTP In: EHLO arturia.xs4all.nl Out: 250-nenya.dtnx.net Out: 250-PIPELINING Out: 250-SIZE 35651584 Out: 250-ETRN Out: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Out: 250-8BITMIME Out: 250 DSN In: MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> Out: 250 2.1.0 Ok In: RCPT TO:<[email protected]> Out: 550 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: You are not a known MX for 'configcast.com'. In: QUIT Out: 221 2.0.0 Bye The rejection is from the hash database specified for 'check_sender_access', which has a line for every domain this server is responsible for, since all mail from those domains originates from our own servers; configcast.com REJECT You are not a known MX for 'configcast.com'. Since there is a seperate 'check_recipient_access' as well, I was expecting 'check_sender_access' to work for 'MAIL FROM' only, but the above example suggests it is consulted during the recipient stage as well, if specified there. Is this by design, working as intended? Or am I missing something somewhere? Postfix 2.6.3 on Debian Lenny i386. Cya, Jona
