I switched from sendmail 5 years ago or so. I vaguely remember the access
list, so, there's probably someone more qualified to comment, but,
http://www.postfix.com/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html covers some of the ACL
tricks. Postfix packages from CentOS's postfix package also has an
/etc/postfix/access file, which is worth checking out, looks to be a two
column list with email address, domain, hostname or ip on the left side, and
an action on the right. Might be drop in, or close to the access list
sendmail uses.

There is one question I would have about switching to postfix, and that
would
be the compatibility of a long (VERY LONG) access control list (for the
access file in sendmail) in postfix, and what the differences in access
syntax that there may be. I'd kindof like to switch (to transition to the
packaged kolab environment, which uses postfix), but the ACL thing (which
I've not found in the various and voluminous postfix FAQL's) is the only
real
hangup.
