I am running a FreeBSD 5.4p10 machine at my office. It functions as our = firewall and mailserver. I am running Mailscanner, which invokes = sendmail when necessary to process mail. Sendmail is not started by = default....Mailscanner invokes individual instances of it when it needs = to. Here is my problem. I have an employee at my office that is sending = work email to her home email address. I need to find a way to block her = email address, whether To, From, Cc, Bcc, or whatever, from passing = through my mailserver. I have already added a line to /etc/mail/access = (in the format email@address.com REJECT), and have run makemap = hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access. I tested this with my = personal email address (external to my network), and it had the effect = of blocking any email orginating from my personal email to any address = at my work, however it does not prevent me from sending emails to this = address from a work address, which is the whole point. Does anyone have any ideas? I could tag the address as spam, but I = would rather not. There has to be a way to block anyone from sending to = a certain email address, I would think. Any help would be appreciated. -Jim
