Postfix header_checks not working

I just can't seem to figure out why header_checks are not being evaluated.

I add following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf:

header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks.pcre

And here is header_checks.pcre :

/^From: [email protected]/  REDIRECT [email protected]

To test it I tried :

postmap -q "From: [email protected]" pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks.pcre

which evaluates correctly and give me return output of :

REDIRECT [email protected]

But when I receive an email from [email protected] this does not work. My maillog shows:

Any ideas? Thanks!

One issue might be that there is a receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks somewhere in main.cf or master.cf that is turning off the header checks. In the master.cf file, it would be a -o option in one of the service configuration entries.

There are 4 options for receive_override_options:

no_unknown_recipient_checks Do not try to reject unknown recipients (SMTP server only). This is typically specified AFTER an external content filter.

no_address_mappings Disable canonical address mapping, virtual alias map expansion, address masquerading, and automatic BCC (blind carbon-copy) recipients. This is typically specified BEFORE an external content filter.

no_header_body_checks Disable header/body_checks. This is typically specified AFTER an external content filter.

no_milters Disable Milter (mail filter) applications. This is typically specified AFTER an external content filter.

The no_address_mappings options will typically be located in main.cf while the other options, in master.cf

The "-o receive_override_options" overrides main.cf settings to avoid duplicating work that was already done before the content filter. These options are complementary to the options that are specified in main.cf
