    I would like to create "do not reply" email account. The simpliest way is create an email account and disable receiving. Which option in Postfix permit disable receiving for particular email? I use ISPConfig 3.1.7p1, Ubuntu 16.04 and Postfix 3.10. This mailbox will be used in this scenario: Developers make different applications and these applications send mainly confirmation emails, also reminder password emails. These emails should only be send and receiver could not answer this email with success.

    There is a checkbox for that in the mailbox settings.

    What does it change and in which place (database or file)? I assume that in Postfix.

    When receiving is disabled then the mailbox is excluded from receiving emails due to the sql queries that postfix uses to select active mailboxes.

    Thank you Till. Can I find somewhere these sql queries? I would like to know how it works. What logic/backend is under this little checkbox. :)

    Take a look into the various mysql........cf files in /etc/postfix, they contain the queries.
