Posted by Policyd has module access control. This module can use for some aims as improving anti spam reject unlisted domain like article has been wrote before. Module access control also can use for restrict users sending to certain users/domains and this article will explain how to apply.
Assume you have been install and configure policyd like the following article How To Install PolicyD on Zimbra 8.5. For information, i have user with name user1@imanudin.net. This user can sending to domain local only (imanudin.net) and deny to other domain.
Open policyd webui on http://ZimbraServer:7780/webui/index.php. First, create users and domains group.
Select Groups. Add new group and given name users_local_only. Add member users to group users_local_only. Don’t forget to change status disable yes become no. Add new group and given name list_domain. Add member domains to group list_domain. Don’t forget to change status disable yes become no. See the following pictures
Select Policies | Main. Create new policy and given name Sending Local Only. Give priority 30 and fill description with information about your policy. Add member to new policy and fill on source with group users_local_only and on destination with group list_domain but with reverse status.Don’t forget to change status disable yes become no. See the following pictures
Now, you must define access to new policy has been created. Select Access Control | Configure. Add new access control and given name Sending Local Only. Select Sending Local Only on link to policy and reject on verdict. Give information about why email cannot sending on data like “Sorry, you cannot sending to outside”. See the following pictures
Don’t forget to change status disable yes become no
Enable policyd accesscontrol and restart policyd service
su - zimbra zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraCBPolicydAccessControlEnabled TRUE zmcbpolicydctl restart
Please try to sending email from user1@imanudin.net to outside and see the log information on /opt/zimbra/log/cbpolicyd.log and /var/log/zimbra.log to debug.
Good luck and hopefully useful 😀

Hi Iman,
Have you already test Zimbra conf in smtp level to restrict a specific user to reject messages from external domains ?
Hi Fabiano,
You can try this one and adjust with your environment : https://imanudin.net/2014/10/13/restricting-users-to-send-mails-to-certain-domains-on-zimbra-8-5/
Hi Iman,
I already tried this solution to prevent an account from sending messages to external domains, and it`s ok.
Now i need to prevent that same account from receive messages from external domains. I was tried to revert that configuration, but with no success (I want an account that can only send and receive messages to and from local domain).
I made that restriction by amavis, and it`s work fine.
I think it`s possible through smtp level too, but no success yet.
Hi Fabiano,
I think you can define on restricted_sender domain that you accept and define on local_domain user that receive email from outside
Hi Imam,
I have distribution list which i want to restrict for sending emails on that from all external domains but at the same time want to allow for some external domains like, e.g. want to block *@gmail.com, *@hotmail.com, but wan to allow *@partnercompaniesdomain.com , please let me know we could get this done?
Hi Nishant,

Hi pak Iman.
sy sudah melakukan setting seperti di atas. namun blm menjalankan script
===========
su – zimbra
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraCBPolicydAccessControlEnabled TRUE
zmcbpolicydctl restart
===========
saat ini user yg di restrict masih dapat mengirim email ke DL yg tidak seharusnya.
Apakah harus menjalankan script tsb setiap setting restrict atau hanya sekali saja. krn sy hanya admin di sisi webUI.
Terima kasih
Hi mas Wisnu,
Jika command tersebut sudah dijalankan sebelumnya, maka command tersebut tidak perlu dijalankan kembali
apakah setiap buat rule restricted baru harus jalankan script “zmcbpolicydctl restart” ini Pak ?
terima kasih sebelumnya.
Hi mas Wisnu,
Jika rule nya tidak jalan, baru restart manual dengan perintah tersebut
rule restricted ini ttp tidak berfungsi, namun rule rate limit berfungsi. bagaimana solusinya pak ? terima kasih
Hi mas Wisnu,
Apakah feature access control nya sudah di enable? jika sudah, coba restart service Policyd-nya

Hi Sir,
How to allow the user in zimbra webmail to send to anywhere using his external account if the user has been restricted using policyd to send to local only?
Hi Ken,
AFAIK. External users that configure in Zimbra still use SMTP on Zimbra (on behalf). So that, user still use your internal users. CMIIW
Hi Iman,
thanks for the article.
