While you can write your own LOCAL_RULESETS to accomplish the goal, anyone with a smidgen of clue could work around such a restriction by forging email as if it came from another user. In other words, you're describing a social problem which should be enforced by getting the user to agree to use email only for legitimate purposes, and by monitoring their usage by checking the mail logfiles to ensure they don't abuse email by sending to inappropriate domains. -- -Chuck
