Postfix: Allow only one specific sender to send email












0















I want to allow only one sender with a specific address to send email on the localhost



main.cf



smtpd_sender_restrictions =
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/senders,
reject


senders



sender@somewhere.net   OK


Tried several combinations, REGEXP, etc, doesn't work



Am I missing other options?



UPDATE:



Scenario:



I want to restrict which local accounts can use the local Postfix SMTP service. For example, I only want to allow 'root' account to use the service, or some other who has a specific sender address. Tried numerous configs, but none of them worked.



I'm using a Smarthost to relay the emails



Thanks for the reply.

  • Hello and welcome to AskUbuntu! What is that doesn't work? It allows other addresses to send? Or it does not allow sender@somewhere.net ?

  • It does not block any of the emails, all of them pass. I want a scenario that blocks all, except one. Thanks for the reply
