For very short lists, the simplest is:
main.cf:
thash = texthash:${config_directory}/
smtpd_sender_restrictions =
check_sender_access ${thash}blocked-senders
blocked-senders:
[email protected] REJECT Stooges not accepted here
[email protected] REJECT Stooges not accepted here
[email protected] REJECT Stooges not accepted here
This admits occasional editing of the list without having to touch
main.cf. If the list is sufficiently static that bolting it into
main.cf is a sensible tradeoff, then:
main.cf:
smtpd_sender_restrictions =
check_sender_access inline:{
{ [email protected] = REJECT Stooges not accepted here },
{ [email protected] = REJECT Stooges not accepted here },
{ [email protected] = REJECT Stooges not accepted here },
}
Of course you can also use any of the fancier dictionary types, putting
the data in LDAP, a SQL database, a CDB table, LMDB, ...
