Thanks for the reply but my problem is little bit different .. Here is what i am looking for.
1. I am using postfix as MTA which is correctly delivering mails to local and remote users. 2. I am willing to limit recipient per message which i achieved using smtpd_recipient_limit but it counts local recipient as well. 3. Now i configured relay server with smtpd_recipient_limit feature and used relayhost feature in main.cf to send all outgoing mails to my relay server and deliver local mails locally without touching relay server. 4. I configured smtpd_recipient_limit in relay server so that i can limit outgoing recipient in every mail but this strategy is not working for me. I hope now you have understood my issues. I only willing to know is it right strategy or not, if right than why it is not working. I hope you all will help me on this issue.
