RE: [vps-mail] Filtering Service IP Subnets for virtual SMTP?

["Martin Fischer" <martin.fischer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bennet, 

thank you, I am aware of hosts.allow, but we need to filter incoming smtp 
connections only by domain i.e. for a certain user. So we are looking for 
a procmail recipe to filter ?

I can think of lots of ways to do what you want to do (if I understand
your question). For blocking all but a certain IP, the hosts.allow file
comes to mind. You allow a specific IP, then deny the rest. In VPS2:

sendmail : 12.34.56.78 : allow
sendmail : ALL : deny

(IIRC, on VPS1, replace "sendmail" with "smtp".)

See http://www.viaverio.com/support/vps/advanced/controlling_services.cfm
for more information on VPS2; also the /etc/hosts.allow file itself ...
