Have Postfix 2.6.6 on RedHat  which is used as an internal mail relay server for all incoming emails to be relayed to our exchange server. We are relaying emails destined to our domain ( mydomain.com ) to our exchange mail server ( 10.10.0.1 ). This is done by /etc/postfix/transport containing "mydomain.com smtp:[10.10.01] ".
We also want to relay emails from a single email sender "sender@otherdomain"  to our exchange server at 10.10.0.1. How can we do this?

it can be done by using  smtpd_send_restrictions....
In main.cf add: a check_send_access clause to the head of the smtp_send_restrictions key.

smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_redirect <, original content>

the file /etc/postfix/sender_redirect should then contain a list of addresses like: (1 per line).
from_address@some.example.org redirect new_to_address@another.example.org
Adding lines like
badaddress@example.com REJECT
should block mail from that user,and
okaddress@example.com OK
Should allways be allowed

after that regenerate aliases etc.... (ie. postmap /etc/postfix/sender_redirect)

Thank you, it almost worked, but used in sender_redirect table " from_address@some.example.org FILTER smtp:10.10.0.1"
