Topic: Mail Blocking

[s1Lv3r]

Hi all,

Is there a way to only accept emails from specific email addresses addressed to a group?

Thanks!

Ok, let me rephrase my post

I need to prevent some email senders here from sending unwanted emails within the company.

Is there any way for me to restrict/block a particular email sender from sending to specific email addresses or group?

Hope somebody can help me.

Thanks!

You can edit /var/qmail/control/badmailfromto
with pairs of email addresses
# sender_address        tab     recipient_address
sender@sender.domain  recipient@recipient.domain

SInce that file is a templated configuration file, you should never edit it directly - you should create custom template fragments to provide the content which you require. The template could use a database file (even CSV or spreadsheet file) to produce its content.

....you should create custom template fragments to provide the content which you require. The template could use a database file (even CSV or spreadsheet file) to produce its content.

Added this to the FAQ, which uses a custom template, but needs more work/study to create the code to extract data from a db file.
