Postfix stops all restriction processing when it encounters REJECT, and the 5xx code is sent to the client at the next available opportunity. The actual timing of sending to the client is affected by smtpd_delay_reject, but the main thing is that all checks are ended as soon as some rule results in REJECT. > > Defer actions are a special case; processing will continue in case a > reject action is reached. You're thinking of the DEFER_IF_PERMIT action. DEFER acts immediately just like REJECT. -- Noel Jones
