Hi,

I know this is off topic as it only really relates to the MTA but wandered
if anyone could help.

Using postfix 2 is it possible to stop delivery of all mail to a domain and
hold it until the block is released?

Thanks and sorry for posting this here but Kinda desperate!

Sam

OK, basic rules, that I'm just tarting to flesh out is:

Don't abuse the system.
Keep a local DNS zone running (to save my connection).

I can add you to the email alias I'm using as a starting point, so
interested parties can bang around ideas. Let me know.
