Hello Rob (sorry if that's wrong, just assumed that's your name) and Dennis, thank you for your time and help.

I had briefly looked at that setting earlier but thought just using the .domain.tld notation would be ok. Just having another read about that, it looks as though I need to set it like this: /usr/pkg/etc/postfix/main.cf: [ ... ] parent_domain_matches_subdomains = smtpd_access_maps [ ... ] is that right? I also understood that using the $smtpd_sender_restrictions parameter would be the right way to whitelist this domain for what i'm trying to achieve, have I got that right? Jamie.
