Try adding this line into your /etc/postfix/main.cf file... access_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/access And then restart postfix with 'service postfix restart' Thanks... Dan.

[expert] rejecting sites mail with postfix
Hi *, I have a quick question regarding postfix. I checked www.postfix.org, but the answer wasn't readily apparent. I am trying to block some spam sites from gaining entry into my system, and I run my own mail server (no pop - smtp right to my dsl address) and according to the manpages, it would appear that I should put the trouble- some sites in /etc/postfix/access, one per line, along with a REJECT message; probably the simplest way to do this. So I have a few lines: 163.net REJECT customoffers.com REJECT 263.net REJECT etc. I then restart postfix by 'service postfix restart', the access.db file is subsequently rewritten. Still though I get spam from these sites, and postfix seemingly is ignoring these rules. David E.
