Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know if there are ways that I can limit or restrict who can
send email or messages to a given mail alias?

Sincerely,
Aaron Hsu

Search this news groups archive for discussions of "Protected Sender(s)"
and / or "Protected Recipient(s)".

There are ways to do it but (IMHO) they don't scale all that well. If
this question pertains to who can send to the previously mentioned (in a
different thread) mailing list, I'd suggest that you implement this
filtering in the mailing list manager as it will have many more features
and be *much* more capable.

There are *MANY* approaches to choose from:
a) http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/protected.html
b) "via procmail script alias"
delivery to procmail script that does conditional equivalent of alias
expansion - it is the best if you want to "moderate" not explicitly
allowed messages
c) in milter checks (e.g. in MIMEDefnag's perl filtering script)
It is the best if you want more complicated rules than supported by
"a" and you want to reject messages from non permitted in reply to
"RCPT TO:"

I'll second this as the best (as in thorough / complete / most feature
full) method.
