In my attempt to block my Postfix email server from receiving and sending email to gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol, and msn email accounts, I created the following:
vim /etc/postfix/main.cf smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access reject_unauth_destination = hash:/etc/postfix/access Then I created the file called 'access' and added the following entry: vim /etc/postfix/access gmail.com REJECT I then ran postmap against the newly created 'access' file: postmap hash:/etc/postfix/access Reloaded postfix mail server mail:/etc/postfix# postfix reload postfix/postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system The problem I have is nobody from the specific domains are able to send email to my mail server. It rejects like it should however I am still able to send mail to those domains from my Postfix email server. It appears that 1/2 of the rule is working and I don't know what I did wrong. Anyone know? I checked /var/log/mail.err and found nothing. Nov 21 14:17:26 mail postfix/smtpd[5425]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from yx-out-1718.google.com[74.125.44.157]: 554 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Access denied; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> proto=ESMTP helo=<yx-out-1718.google.com> Inbound = blocked Outbound = still works Why?
