Viktor, was there discussion on the mailing lists about this when the change was made? Any context I can read? Was it a conscious decision not to update the documentation? So what do you / Wietse think would be the best way forward? It does seem to make more sense for smtpd_relay_restrictions to come first as documented. I don't entirely understand why it was deemed more compatible to evaluate the recipient restrictions first, but some options are: * add a variable to control the order * base the order on the compatibility_level * if smtpd_relay_restrictions has been set (not defaulted) evaluate it first probably others.. thanks, Greg
