I'm not sure what you're trying to do with this bit:

'822fields from | grep -iqv @mydomain1.com && @mydomain2.com'

... could you please explain it ?

thanks

it meant .. if sender 's domain is not from mydomain1.com or mydomain2.com .. then the mail should be rejected with bouncesaying

any idea? or did I miss something?

The problem with an inverse grep is that at least one line of every message will match... is every message getting bounced?

You would need a longer script that would set a flag if the correct sender domain was found and set the relevant return code accordingly.

As a side note, the From: field can be easily forged so this solution may not be that effective, it may be worth investigating other methods of restricting inbound mail.
