Name

skip_hosts — skip the specified host, but consider other hosts in the domain

Synopsis

skip_hosts = ("127.0.0.1")

skip_hosts = ("127.0.0.1" "fe80::a00:1")

Description

Unlike prohibited_hosts, Skip_hosts does not permanently deny a domain. Instead, it enables you to skip the specified host but still consider other hosts in the domain. For example, to prevent delivery to loopback addresses (127.0.0.0/8) or the null route 0.0.0.0, you can use the following line:

skip_hosts = ( "127.0.0.0/8" "0.0.0.0" )

Note

Note: This setting does not affect where you receive mail from, only where you can deliver mail to.

Scope

skip_hosts is valid in the global scope.
