please help

I need black and whitelist functionality on port 25 and 26 though this is a gateway for multiple customers.

Thank you.
 
I notice two things for the first 2 rules (Whitelist and Blacklist):
* both only have direction 'in' (they only work on inbound mail (port 25) and not port 26) -> change the direction to in&out
* for the blacklist you have a from and a to object (with the same addresses inside) - I guess you might want to remove the to-object

I hope this helps!

Thank you very much. I´m trying the first setting now.
For the blacklist setting - I need to block one receiver so the to-object is hopefully correct.
 
If you need to block all mails to one receiver then you need to remove the from object
(if you have set both 'from' and 'to' then only mails from that mail and to that mail are blocked)

The service is called 'pmg-smtp-filter' (but it should reload the rule database when you change it without an explicit restart)
 
thank you it worked...I had to do 2 separate rules one for in and one for out to block an email-adress in both directions.
