Ahh, thank you. Easily done. For future readers, in /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf, I've added this line: header_checks = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/header_checks and header_checks contains: /^to: *@host\.example\.org/ REJECT Then do a "postfix reload". Here is a sample rejection message: May 31 15:55:05 m20 postfix/cleanup[46233]: D37BB7A8D: reject: header To: <dan@host.example.org>; from=<dan@example.com> to=<dan@host.example.org>; I can see myself using this feature quite a bit.
