I think there is some misunderstanding here. On 2013-01-10 01:38, Daniel L.

Wietse's above text refers to SENDER address verification if I am not mistaken. If you are subscribed to a mailing list, that would mean: your server asks the MX host for the envelope sender address of the mailing list message if that host would accept a mail for that envelope sender address. > > Fair enough.

You keep asking about recipient verification. I dont understand how that relates to mailing lists you are subscribed to. Does your phrase "my mailing lists" refer to mailing lists you are subscribed to? > check_recipient_access = hash:/etc/postfix/maps/mailing_lists That means: postfix will query /etc/postfix/maps/mailing_lists to see if it should accept mails for local or virtual recipients. > /etc/postfix/maps/mailing_lists > mailingl...@mailingserver.com OK I think that mailingl...@mailingserver.com is neither a local nor a virtual address on your postfix server but the "To:" header line in mailing list mails like e.g. postfix-users@postfix.org. If so, that is nothing that your server sees in smtpd connections at all, that is part of the mail DATA and nothing your smtpd_recpient_restrictions will hit ... I think you should post log lines that show what happens on your server so that the problem becomes more clear. Hope this helps. Cheers, wolfgang
