You don't need to use the outgoing part of TMDA at all.

Are you saying that you would build one large whitelist based on all outgoing mail on the server and then anyone could reference that in their incoming filter? What if I'm a user on your machine and I really don't want to get mail from one of your idiot friends <wink>? > Still has anyone tried anything like this rather than the > tmda-ofmipd, would seem to take the TMDA whitelist of recipients > away from the critical path of sending mail. Do you have users on other machines relaying through your MTA? Or do they log into your machine and use a UNIX MTA to send their mail? In the first case, tmda-ofmipd is the appropriate tool. In the latter case, you can just configure your UNIX MUA to send mail using tmda-sendmail. Any address tagging will be done at that point, before submitting the mail to Postfix. Since you don't want tagging, the simplest outgoing filter would be none and you could set ACTION_OUTGOING (the default action) to bare=append Be sure to set BARE_APPEND to a file you own and TMDA will write the addresses of of all recipients you send mail to into that file. The 'bare' part ensure that it will not tag or change your email address in any fashion. I don't know if that will work for you because I don't know your configuration with regard to external users and relaying. If you'd like anymore information, tell us a little more about your mail configuration and what scenarios you need to support.
