OK, something doesn't work as you expected, and you've tried something that didn't fix it. That's not much for us to go on. At a minimum we'll need to see your "postconf -n" output and the unmodified log lines showing the problem. Please see: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail Unsolicited advice that may or may not help: check_client_access uses the client hostname and IP as the lookup key. If you're trying to match an email address, you'll need to use check_sender_access or check_recipient_access. See the fine documentation for details. http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html -- Noel Jones
