This should be a "cidr:" table lookup instead, and should use
permit_auth_destination, instead of "OK".
74.203.184.40/32 permit_auth_destination

This should not be a regular expression check at all:
main.cf:
indexed = ${default_database_type}:${config_directory}/
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination,
check_sender_access ${indexed}sender_checks,
...
sender_checks:
myclient.com permit_auth_destination
.myclient.com permit_auth_destination
as written it allows:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
...
Correct use of regular expressions, which not only accepts all wanted
inputs, but also rejects allallunwanted inputs, is surprisingly rare.
Best practice is to avoid REs if at all possible, because you're likely
to use them incorrectly.
