I am running a FreeBSD 5.4p10 machine at my office. It functions as our firewall and mailserver. I am running Mailscanner, which invokes sendmail when necessary to process mail. Sendmail is not started by default....Mailscanner invokes individual instances of it when it needs to.

Here is my problem. I have an employee at my office that is sending work email to her home email address. I need to find a way to block her email address, whether To, From, Cc, Bcc, or whatever, from passing through my mailserver. I have already added a line to /etc/mail/access (in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] REJECT), and have run makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access. I tested this with my personal email address (external to my network), and it had the effect of blocking any email orginating from my personal email to any address at my work, however it does not prevent me from sending emails to this address from a work address, which is the whole point.

I doubt we know the whole story, but even if you do find a way to make this work what stops her from...

- emailing her work to her gmail/hotmail/yahoo account?
- copying her email and putting it on a thumb drive?
- printing it out and taking it home?

If you are trying to stop her from taking "work material" home then you've got a much bigger problem.
