Re: Rejecting mail

Hi Frank :)
You should be able to just add this line to /etc/postfix/main.cf :
smtpd_client_restrictions = reject

That should reject everything with a 554 rejection like so:
554 5.7.1 <hostname[host ip]>: Client host rejected: Access denied

You can even create custom bounce message.  Check out the bounce man page.
