How to delete a specific recipient

Hello,

I have an email address that got onto a spam list, so want to reject all
email coming to it. i have looked in the faq and howto's etc, but can't
see how to do it.

I have tried rejecting that address in the access file, but no luck...

Can you help?


Thanks in advance,

Karl

Hi Karl
you just erase the mail address from your virtual address list:
In my config I have:

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual/virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_domains = /etc/postfix/virtual/virtual_alias_domains

any domain/mail-address which has no entry in the above table(s), is
rejected (error code 550).
the first is a hashed lookup table (created with postmap), the second is
a plain text table.

for non-configured mailboxes you will then see something like the
following in your mail-log:

Aug 6 08:16:02 violina postfix/smtpd[4604]: A20093B9C7: reject: RCPT
from ns.4-u.com[195.141.97.100]: 550 <alkuwait@ayni.com>: User unknown
in local recipient table; from=<SheetLiquidation@xy62.com> proto=ESMTP
helo=<4-u.com>

good luck
