Misuse of my domain.

[Erik Jakobsen]

Hi.

I got a tip from another mailinglist about the blocking of a user, that
is misusing my domain.

I have done this:

In /etc/postfix.in/access I have inserted a line:

address at domain.com 550

And in /etc/postfix.in/main.cf, I have a line:

smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix.in/access

Then after that I did the following:

#postmap /etc/postfix.in/access

and

#postfix reload.

I suppose it should be done in /etc/postfix.in and not the /etc/postfix ??.


But there is a fault being shown in the /var/log/maillog:

Well I can see now, that it try to open /etc/postfix/access.db. Think it
should have been /etc/postfix.in/access.db ??.
