With the above, the policy service is NEVER called if the client
IP address matches mynetworks, or if the client has authenticated
with SASL.
To test if the service is called, run netcat instead of your server:
$ nc -l 3001
This should show a bunch of Postfix attributes, assuming that the
the client IP address does not match mynetworks, and that the client
has not authenticated with SASL. The Postfix SMTP server will be waiting
for a policy response.
