It's similar issue but not the same. In my postfix main.cf I use:
authorized_submit_users = root, filter to block users with shell access to send e-mails. I want only users root and filter to be able to send directly without using SMTP authentication. If I remove "authorized_submit_users = root, filter" then it works. The question is if something changed between postfix 2.2 and 2.3.1 which requires to drop privileges from root to user. > On 4 Apr 2018, at 12:25, B.
