You need to send mail by using SMTP to one of the machine's local addresses, rather than submitting it as a local mail. Now, stepping well outside my area of expertise ... The default for a lot of software is that it will use some sort of "drop a mail in the queue" type function. With Postfix installed, there is "sendmail", and from it's man page : DESCRIPTION The Postfix sendmail(1) command implements the Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface. For the sake of compatibility with existing applications, some Sendmail command-line options are recognized but silently ignored. By default, Postfix sendmail(1) reads a message from standard input until EOF or until it reads a line with only a . character, and arranges for delivery. Postfix sendmail(1) relies on the postdrop(1) command to create a queue file in the maildrop directory. So when you send a mail using that option, the message never touches any of the smtpd_* settings you've configured. However, if the software sends a mail by opening a TCP connection and sending the message using SMTP, then it will follow all the settings you've set. So you'll need to restrict what software is allowed to do - specifically blocking the use of local queue submissions. You're users will moan at this since many of them will be running software which assumes there will be such a function available. On the flip side, I've also had issues with users that write their own smtp client and then moan when it can't handle mandatory elements of the protocol spec because the've assumed an error free universe ! -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
