Say a particular email goes from some system on the Internet called serverA, to serverB, to serverC, to myServer. Would putting a "serverB REJECT" in /etc/mail/access block this example email? Or does the access file only block based on the server that is actually connecting to myServer to send the email, not others in the chain?
