Hi, I realised that testing with sendmail wasn't the best idea. After trying it out with an smtp client (thunderbird) I found that the server returned the following error:
Jul 4 18:18:57 mailtest postfix/smtpd[9623]: warning: specify one of (check_client_access, check_helo_access, check_sender_access, check_recipient_access, check_etrn_access) before End-of-data restriction "static:discard" Jul 4 18:18:57 mailtest postfix/smtpd[9623]: 4CDD0F6913: reject: END-OF-MESSAGE from tecra1.local[192.168.10.130]: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration error; from=<srdan.du...@gmail.com> to=<srdan.du...@hotmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.10.130]> So I guess you can't use the 'static:discard' option with the 'smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions' parameter. I did however manage to find a solution here[1]. Although this one is more complicated (it involves creating a 'null' service).
