Configuring header/body checks for mail to some domains only

The following information applies to Postfix 2.1. Earlier Postfix versions do not support the receive_override_options feature.

If you are MX service provider and want to apply disable head/body checks for some domains, you can configure ONE Postfix instance with multiple SMTP server IP addresses in master.cf. Each address provides a different service.

/etc/postfix.master.cf:
    # =================================================================
    # service     type  private unpriv  chroot  wakeup  maxproc command
    #                   (yes)   (yes)   (yes)   (never) (100)
    # =================================================================
    # SMTP service for domains with header/body checks turned on.
    1.2.3.4:smtp  inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd

    # SMTP service for domains with header/body checks turned off.
    1.2.3.5:smtp  inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
        -o 
receive_override_options=
no_header_body_checks

Once this is set up you can configure MX records in the DNS that route each domain to the proper SMTP server instance.
