applying Access lists

If I understand:

When applying access list to interfaces, we apply the standard access list at the destination interface
 we apply the extended access list at source interface or may be both.

Router(config-if)# ip access-group  AccessListName out

My question is:
- if we have 2 routers routerA and RouterB both have 3 interfaces, but dierectly connected through one interface.
we need to apply an  access lists to block SMTP traffic  from router A to routerB
an we need to block all traffic from host 192.168.1.45 located  behind routerB network and going to routerA


how can we configure access lists?

thanks

If all you're trying to do is control access on the link between the two routers, then you could apply the standard ACL outbound on one router and the extended ACL inbound on the other.

in the diagram both routers have e0,e1,e2
can you tell me to which e2 didi you apply the access list?
If you look at my comment where I posted the config, you will see "The following would be done on Router 1"

sorry I did not see it.

The purpose of posting this question was to understand when and where to use the "in" and "out " at the interface level.

in your case you applied  :
Extended access list at the source router Router1 (e2) to prevent any SMTP traffic to go to Router2
Standard Access list at the destination router Router1 (e2) to prevent the traffic from 192.168.1.45  to come in through e2.
Is there any rule to follow in order to know to which interface the access list should be applied to?
