Thanks for taking the time to try to assist my limited brain in understanding this Noel. It is frustrating, because I thought I at least had a decent handle on how these checks worked...

Since smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=yes is the default, it happens after the recipient_restrictions *without* my having to specify it, right? Hmmm... maybe this is the source of my confusion. Based on this comment, now I'm guessing that there must be other checks like this that occur at (some/all of?) the other stages/sections that I am unaware of because they are the default action...? That would actually make sense (and I guess I can see how you might have assumed that I already knew this). If this is so, are these default checks documented somewhere - preferably in one place, so I don't have to try to read dozens of pages of complex docs to try to cobble them all together? I'm not lazy, but I get headaches when reading postfix docs for too long - not because they are bad, but because much of it is over my head... ;) Thanks again Noel... -- Best regards, Charles
