Please don't take offense; we're just trying to help you ask questions in a structured way so it is easier to understand *why* email you think should be discarded, is actually being delivered. The kind fellow's suggested solution may well be what you need if and *only* if the From: header in the emails you are trying to block matches the envelope sender. If you are unfamiliar with those terms, please use google. > Rather than talking about how counterproductive it seems for everyone to > jump on me for making innocent errors in my posting, what exactly would be > helpful in this case? Again, we're not jumping on you to be nitpicky, but just because we still do not understand exactly what is happening. > Should I post a new thread with the information about using a hash map for > smptd_sender_restrictions instead of using header_checks? Please enlighten > me. Revert to your original configuration with header_checks, 'postfix reload', and send a test email you think should be blocked. Then follow-up on this thread showing us: 1) output of postconf -n 2) headers of the 'offending' email that is delivered 3) exact contents of your header_checks file 4) unaltered log snippet that shows the 'offending' email delivery -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net>
