man 5 header_checks | Message headers added by the cleanup(8) daemon itself are excluded | from inspection. Examples of such message headers are From:, To:, | Message-ID:, Date:. Why don't you use an access map for this? # in main.cf: smtpd_sender_restrictions = ... check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_blacklist, ... # in sender_blacklist: somplace.org DISCARD Don't forget to postmap sender_blacklist, and perhaps consider REJECTing instead of DISCARDing.
