Hi List! Hail, Postfix Gurus! I'm having problems using smtpd_recipient_restrictions with check_recipient_access.
My goal is to send mail from this machine only to email addresses I specify. All other mail should be rejected, including mail from localhost. (It's a development server used for testing websites, and some of those websites have bulk mailing features so it's important only developers and admins get the email). The machine only delivers mail from local sources and needn't receive any mail at all. I've managed to configure postfix to reject mail that I try to send from the local machine with telnet[1]: However PHP's mail() function still sends. I think php's mail() uses sendmail; I noticed that I can also send to unauthorized recipients with postfix's sendmail program[2]. My question is this: how do I reject recipients when I send mail through postfix's sendmail, or through PHP? I've attached main.cf and relay_recipients as well. I'm trying to use relay_recipients as an access table for check_recipient_access as well as the relay_recipients table. Is that OK? It seems as though my telnet connections are triggering reject_unauth_destination, because of the failed lookup in relay_domains and/or relay_recipient_maps. Perhaps these lookups don't apply in the case of sendmail submissions, which are "even more local" than localhost:25 connections? I am clearly missing the magic words that impose recipient restrictions on sendmail submissions just as my current config does for localhost:25 submissions. I thought chech_recipient_access seemed perfect, but it's inclusion in smtpd_recipient_restrictions seems to have had no affect. Thank you very much for your help. I truly appreciate it.
