Hello,

We have a problem using the access db. We want to reject all mail with a
From: address of @domain.com unless it is recieved from host 1.2.3.4. Have
tried this:

Connect:1.2.3.4 RELAY
From:domain.com REJECT

but it is rejected with this:

ruleset=check_mail, arg1=test@domain.com, relay=[1.2.3.4], reject=550 5.7.1
test@domain.com... Access denied

I believe this is because the check_mail ruleset is called after the
check_relay one and the fact you pass the first doesn't excuse you from
having to pass the second.

Anyone know how we can resolve this?

Cheers,

Dave

Why not use:

Connect:1.2.3.4 RELAY
Connect:domain.com REJECT

or with from on both lines.

'Connect:' entries refer to the IP address or hostname of the SMTP
connection.
'From:' entries refer to the SMTP envelope's sender e-mail address.

Those are not necessarily related to each other.
