I find the "relocated" feature useful for this. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relocated_maps # main.cf relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated The relocated table is a list of recipients to reject and a comment, usually a new email address, but the comment can be anything. # relocated previous_resid...@example.com u...@gmail.com ## or if you don't have a new address, former_u...@example.com unknown -- 12-07-2013 You can also use a check_recipient_access map in your smtpd_recipient_restrictions list, but for this purpose I find the relocated table easier. You can also add the former recipient to the transport map pointing to the error: transport, but I find the relocated table easier for this purpose. -- Noel Jones
