Blocking a specific to address in mappings

Hi,

I am trying to blocking sending access to a specific address on our front end mta using the mappings file.

The mappings file seems to work if I block on an entire domain, but a specific email address does not work. For example:

SEND_ACCESS

tcp_*|*|*|darren@ourdomain.com $NMail$ Blocked <--does not block the email

BUT

SEND_ACCESS

tcp_*|*|*|*@ourdomain.com $NMail$ Blocked <works and blocks all email to the ourdomain.com domain.

Can I not go as fine as a specific email address?

Yes, you can go as far as a specific address, but you have to put in what the MTA is seeing at that point.

Note that imsimta test -rewrite will check your address-based *_ACCESS

mapping tables and is quick and convenient to use. But to make really

effective use of this, you need to use all relevant switches (so that the

input makes sense) and enable enough debugging in the output so that you

can see what the probe turned out to be. If you have trouble figuring out

how to use all the test -rewrite switches appropriately to get a meaningful

test, then you will need to resort instead to enabling slave_debug on the

relevant incoming tcp_* channels (as well as, say, MM_DEBUG=3 in option.dat).

For imsimsimta test -rewrite, a starting point might be:

imsimta test -rewrite -from=user2@domB.com -debug=level=3 CO.AAA@CI.domA.com

But depending upon your configuration, you might also need to use switches

such as -source_channel, -sender, -check_expansions, etc.
