I'm trying to set up postfix to reject messages to two specific
usernames on our domains. The FreeBSD server is taking the messages,
checking them for spam and viruses, then forwarding them on to our
internal mail server.
In the /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf file, I added the line:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access
hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/access
I then added to the file /usr/local/etc/postfix/access:
username1@ REJECT
username2@ REJECT
I then ran the commands
postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/access
postfix stop && postfix start
Then using tail -f /var/log/maillog, I got the error:
Mar 9 10:28:16 myserver postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix
mail system
Mar 9 10:28:16 myserver postfix/master[66263]: terminating on signal 15

defer_if_permit

Mar 9 10:28:49 myserver postfix/master[73766]: warning:

I put in a hash mark for the smtpd_ line in main.cf and ran another
postfix stop and start to get mail working again, but what am I doing
wrong with the file?
