access-control

Is there any way to control which hosts are permitted to connect to the cleanup daemon over TCP?

Our 'master.cf' contains:

2526      inet  n       -       -       -       0       cleanup

This is necessary because we have a cluster of SMTP servers running custom code, and they can all inject mail to the centralized postfix server via the cleanup daemon.

However, we want to allow only our authorized servers to connect to the cleanup daemon. The current configuration allows any host to connect to port 2526.

Clearly we can use iptables to restrict access, but is there a way to do this within postfix itself?
