The thing is that my service will allow Alice and Bob to use it via Tor and telnet into my mail server. It is a privacy service and hopefully should not be abused much, but I need the option so that users of such allowed domains have the ability to send me a block request, in case they no longer want to receive email(s) from my service, due to possible abuse etc. Regards Stefan

Managing allow/block list for outbound traffic
Hi, I am planning to offer a new small email service and decided to only allow for now that outbound traffic can only reach a couple of domains which are included, as understood, in a transport map list, where the domains are labeled as OK. If now a user of such a domain requests that he can be blocked from receiving email from my domain, due to abuse of my service, would be a simple REJECT of his email address in the same transport map list be sufficient, or does postfix may get confused? Regards Stefan
