    Hi all,

    Is there any way to tell postfix to no longer accept messages to some user mail address in my domain without deleting the account?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Memphis,

    Thank for your prompt reply. I’m still in doubt.

    The address I want to block mails to is: info[at]ests[dot]ac[dot]mz

    So under /etc/postfix/maps/ I created the file header_check.pcre with the following content:

    You can do this with the /etc/aliases file. Put something like
    Code:
    web1_someuser: /dev/null
    (where web1_someuser is the username of the account for which you don't want to receive emails anymore) in it, run
    Code:
    newaliases
    afterwards and restart Postfix.
