Next message: Roger B.A. Klorese: "Re: [SPAM] - Re: Postfix mail gateway not rejecting non-existant local / relay recipients - Found word(s) domain name in the Text body"
Not intentional, just elaborating why I am using local recipients and
relay recipients for the same domain as was shown in the output of
postconf -n. The advice from the list about how to make postfix reject
non existent recipients has been to not use any parameters that make
postfix think the domain in question is local if I am relaying for it as
well, but I break mailman if I do so. I appear to have found a
workaround for rejecting non existent recipients by using
reject_unverified_recipients.
Thanks
