[aklug] Requesting help with postfix

[Mike]

Answering my own query here.

Looks like my testing was using the wrong tool.

Should have been using telnet to port 25 in order to get the proper  
restrictions to get executed.

Additionally adding -vvv to the smtp....smtpd line in master.cf gave  
me lots of info about what was happening.

I could then see that the restriction was being executed, but failed  
because "recipient" in this case was the entire e-mail address  
including the domain.

Adding that information into the bogofilter spool dir allowed me to  
see that there was no wordlist.db there.

Just a few more steps, and I think I'll have it sorted.

Thanks for reading.
