oh wow, this worked, first time too. jeeze.. that's awesome. Thank you again, to answer your questions:
1. I do in fact want to only accept mail from static ips and those not on the block list. But I figure there are configuration examples for this. I can spend the time to figure this out I think. This has to be standard config. 2. I do in fact want to only accept mail for people in my database, but I was hoping to as well provide an "external program" to return 0/1 for accept/deny for a recipient. If you have suggestions on #2, I'll take them!!! ;-) -tim On 9/15/13, Wietse Venema <wie...@porcupine.org> wrote: > Tim Prepscius: >> Hello, >> >> This has probably been answered in some thread, however I'm having a >> hard time finding it. >> I'm reading through the documentation, and it is not clear how I would >> fashion a configuration. >> >> >> >> I would like to run postfix in the following fashion: >> >> 1. post fix receives mail from anyuser@anydomain TO >> someotheruser@anyotherdomain using SSL (PFS kind) >> >> 2. after mail is received, my java or native handler program is >> executed with the *entire* mail sent text via a >> pipe/file/env/whatever. >> >> It would be great if the mail never touched disk.
