Postfix implements the SMTP protocol. If the remote SMTP server replies with 5XX, the sending Postfix system returns the recipient as undeliverable. If the remote SMTP server replies with 4XX, the sending Postfix system leaves the recipient in the mail queue and retries later. >From the remote SMTP serrver's point of view, each SMTP connection has two IP addresses: the client IP address and the server IP address. Both addresses are in IPv4 form, or both addresses are in IPv6 form. In some cases, the Postfix SMTP server will convert (the text form of) an IPv4-in-IPv6 address to IPv4, so that you won't have have both forms in your Postfix access maps. Wietse
