I know Postfix very well, and I am familiar with $smtpd_delay_reject. I disagree, however, that this makes a restriction that looks at the sender address "mostly configured in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions". I would agree if you said: since Debian sets $smtpd_delay_reject by default, it doesn't matter where you put it. However, it remains a sender restriction. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
