Thanks Dominic.

Just to be clear, I'm using CentOS 7, amavisd-new 2.11.0.

I can't find ANY decent documentation about how to configure warnbannedrecip_maps. How can I use
this configuration option?

The only policy banks in my amavisd.conf are the default ones that are already configured in the
CentOS 7 packages:

$policy_bank{'MYNETS'} = {   # mail originating from @mynetworks
$policy_bank{'ORIGINATING'} = {  # mail supposedly originating from our users
$policy_bank{'AM.PDP-SOCK'} = {

The warnbannedrecip_maps is nowhere to be found in my amavisd.conf

I've also read that setting $warn_offsite on can create backscatter. Really not sure how to handle this.

Where is the documentation? RTFM comes to mind but it's hard when you can't find any!

The following is an interesting read but the discussion is about 'sender notification'

https://lists.amavis.org/pipermail/amavis-users/2016-November/004649.html

I need 'recipient notification'

I'm very hesitant to set $warn_offsite until I can be sure what it will do. :-/
