Hi all,
how can I make rule so one specific mail address can be reached only from our domain and if someone from other domain try to mail this address the mail have to be rejected from the mail server.
We are using SME Server 7.5.1

Take a look at the Pseudonyms menu item in the Server Manager.

Suppose your domain is "yourdomain.com". If you create a user account, e.g. "jdoe", it will have two pseudonyms: john.doe@yourdomain.com and john_doe@yourdomain.com. Every pseudonym has a property "Local network only" which is set to "no" as a default. This means that this particular user can receive email from anyone. If you set the "Local network only" property to "yes" for both pseudonyms, jdoe will only be able to receive email sent from yourdomain.com domain users.

Thanks for your reply, but
I forgot to tell, that we are talking about a group and it doesn't show in the pseudonyms tab. I tried to create manual pseudonyms, but dind't worked.

You could create a user account that forwards to your group, then restrict access to the user account.

You might get what you want by installing ez-mlm or mailman and using a mailing list instead of a group - then restrict the mailing list to posts from members only.
