You may want to look into the following parameter. allow_untrusted_routing (default: no) Forward mail with sender-specified routing (user[@%!]remote[@%!]site) from untrusted clients to destinations matching $relay_domains. By default, this feature is turned off. This closes a nasty open relay loophole where a backup MX host can be tricked into forwarding junk mail to a primary MX host which then spams it out to the world. Postfix flags an address with @ in the local-part as an address with sender-specified routing, regardless of whether it is quoted. Postfix will not relay such an address unless the above safety feature is turned off. Wietse
