So, you are forcing all email through ns4. As Noel states, you cannot do Address Verification with this setup if there are other machines besides ns4. If mail can be sent directly to other machines, then removing the relayhost will allow Address Verification to work properly. Also, since you specify at least ONE relay_recipient_maps, you MUST specify ALL addresses you accept passing through this machine. You may use multiple maps as Noel has suggested. example: relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pfknown_users, regexp:/path/to/file Brian > i can't see what i'm doing wrong. > > i have been reading the web pages people are sending me to, but > if the answer is there i can't figure it out. i haven't tried > the regexp N.
