what is the result of the `hostname` command on your system. if it's
something like "foo.example.com", then it's ok. if it's just "foo", then
it's not and you need to econfigure your system.

of course it is possible. what is not possible is to guess what you
want. please do reread the "welcome" message of the mailing list.

Allowing someone based on his client addresse is as simple as:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
...
check_client_access hash:$path/googclients
...

and in goodclients put
ip permit

if that doesn't work for you, then you clearly have other problems.

believe it or not, but
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject
check_recipient_access hash:foo

will reject everybody, whatever you put in foo. access rules are
executed one after the other, so check if some rule isn't causing you a
problem.

do never say "it fails", "it doens't work", .... tell us what exactly
doesn't work. for that, provide
- your config (postconf -n)
- your logs.
- and if it's an entry in a map, give the map
