Thanks for your reply Mr Johnson,
Actually what I want is:
# first step:
deny every host to use smtp server on smtp.x.x.x, except 209.134.x.x
so every computer with IP 209.134.x.x can send e-mail to everywhere.
# second step:
smtp.x.x.x allow to receive e-mail from everywhere.
# but
when I did the "first step" , unfortunately smtp.x.x.x can not receive
e-mail from all host, except 209.134.x.x
I think imposibble to list thousand host to control/rcpthost because I
want to allow smtp.x.x.x machine to receive e-mail from everywhere.
