Wietse,

>>How would Postfix know out that mail is forwarded from OSU Microsoft exchange 
>>servers? 
Postfix only receives all outbound emails from 8 exchange hub servers. The 
email received by Postfix is probably 1) osu.edu account to non-osu.edu 
account; 2) osu.edu account to osu.edu forwarding account which is non-osu.edu 
email address; 3) non-osu.edu account to osu.edu forwarding account which is 
non-osu.edu address.

>>Is it mail with a non-OSU envelope sender from a system inside OSU? 
Not really. For example. Somebody from his/her yahoo account  sends an mail to 
my osu.edu email which is forwarded to my Hotmail account.

>>Must it also have a non-OSU envelope recipient?
>From postfix logs, recipient address must be a non-OSU envelope recipient.

When I sent the mail to ask, I feel our rule is a little complicated. Can't 
Postfix header_checks perform too complicated rules? Amavisd-new maybe another 
big change to us, but this is option.

Thanks,

Carl

How would Postfix know out that mail is forwarded from OSU Microsoft exchange 
servers? Is it mail with a non-OSU envelope sender from a system inside OSU? 
Must it also have a non-OSU envelope recipient?
If the rule is complex, then I recommend using an external content filter. 
Amavisd-new supports policies that trigger on all kinds of message properties. 
Postfix just an MTA.
