You can check what Postfix sees by using 'postconf -n'. This is one reason why we ask you to send that output instead of cut/paste what is in main.cf. > smptd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain > smptd_sender_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_sender > smtpd_helo_required = yes > smptd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_hostname > smptd_helo_restrictions = reject_unknown_hostname > smptd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_hostname Note: parameters are NOT cumulative. The last one wins in this case. In your example, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_invalid_hostname and reject_unknown_hostname are ignored once the config is fully read. I highly suggest running 'postconf -n' and reviewing the results. Brian
