After previously posting a thread about header_checks, someone suggested using check_sender_access, I tried it and posted a follow up and was admonished for changing direction. I specifically asked how to proceed and was told to go back to my original thread, which was header_checks.
Message header: I used the Full Header command in Pine About the postconf -n, I had that line commented out from a previous test. Here it is now: alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 default_privs = nobody default_verp_delimiters = += header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks html_directory = no mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 2097152 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost.localdomain, listsmart.$mydomain, swiki.$mydomain myhostname = listsmart.osl.state.or.us mynetworks = 159.121.122.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 mynetworks_style = subnet newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.16/README_FILES recipient_delimiter = + sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.16/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org, reject_rbl_client ix.dnsbl.manitu.net, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_blacklist transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 I don't understand what you mean by this: > From: testm...@library.state.or.us There's no " " behind "testm...@library.state.or.us" On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 12:00 PM, Ralf Hildebrandt < ralf.hildebra...@charite.de> wrote: > * Christopher Adams <adam...@gmail.com>: > > Hello, > > > > I previously posted this thread, but changed midstream and was given > > guidance as to the proper way to post.
