you can not deal with this expect create a error-transport
for such domains manually - but be aware if this domain
get later working mailservices to remove it!

a domain does not need a MX record, that is how it works
and there are many domains with well working mail-services
without

i for myself create always a MX record in by me maintained dns-zones
but technically there is no need as long your a-record does not
point to a webserver while you have mail-services for the
same domain

the side-effect is domains without any mail-address and a a-record
are deferred for 5 days until the message bounces

but be careful remove the error-transport if the domain

i do this via mysql and a daily php-script which is
removing error-transport if the domain get a MX record
which is NOT fakemx.net

manually

my mail-system is completly mysql-based (postfix, dbmail, dovecot-proxy)
and controlled with a 100% self around the configuration developed web-UI

so i can paste in a text-field a domain per line and the backend-function

from error transports to skip valid domains

configure the firewall to block :25 traffic to *parking.com IP ranges.
I also block major WSP IP ranges - it used to be that some WSP's would
be used by typo squatters who would configure a "catchall" SMTP server

how should this help?

postfix will defer and NOT bounce hardly immediately because it
would be a major bug bouncing because temporary network errors
and postfix can not know if it is temporary!

I have added this but it is not working on my setup.
All mail to the domains gets queued.

setup is as follows:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access_whitelist
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access_blacklist
check_recipient_ns_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_ns_host
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject

i tested using ad...@cpf.co.za

cpf.co.za is hosted at sedoparking.com

in the recipient_ns_host file I have

sedoparking.comREJECTRecipient hosted at sedoparking.com

You're testing NS records for the recipient address here, not the sender.

That is correct.

cpf.co.za (the recipient domain) has no MX record BUT does have an A 
record, which does not accept mail.

As such, the mail sits in the queue until it expires.

I am trying to test recipient NS,
If the NS is sedoparking, then Reject the message.

FALSE.  The commas are not required; adding them should have no
effect.

Maybe there was some garbage in the file that got removed when you
edited it, or maybe you're using some non-text editor that screws up

Hi Noel.

I guess I should have done that at the start, my apologies.

Just an update.

when doing a test via the CLI, it seems to work.
So I am guessing a permit statement further down is causing the problem.

I have attached a "postconf -n".

I had the debug included but the list admin bounced it due to max

I will resend it to the list.
