The same results can also be achieved using Amavis via blacklisting.

1. Set the localconfig value for postfix_smtpd_sender_restrictions

zmlocalconfig -e postfix_smtpd_sender_restrictions="hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/reject"

2. Create file /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/reject with the list of email addresses and domains to be rejected in the below format:

  user@domain.com REJECT
  domainX.com REJECT

3. postmap it and restart postfix

 postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/reject
 zmmtactl stop && zmmtactl start

You'll be able to see the changes show up in /opt/zimbra/log/zmconfigd.log .

Reject messages will be logged in /var/log/zimbra.log ; format looks like this:

[date / hostname] postfix/smtpd[####] NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from [remote mta]: 554 5.7.1 <senders-email@DOMAIN>:
Sender address rejected: Access denied: from=<senders-email@DOMAIN> to=<local-zimbra-user@domain> proto=ESMTP helo=<remote mta>
