Enact SMTP Relay Restrictions

An XCCDF Group

Description

To configure Postfix to restrict addresses to which it will send mail, see: http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#danger
The full contents of smtpd_recipient_restrictions will vary by site, since this is a common place to put spam restrictions and other site-specific options. The permit_mynetworks option allows all mail to be relayed from the systems in mynetworks. Then, the reject_unauth_destination option denies all mail whose destination address is not local, preventing any other systems from relaying. These two options should always appear in this order, and should usually follow one another immediately unless SMTP AUTH is used.
