update smtpd_helo_restrictions

parent 2cb3fcd7
  • reject_invalid_helo_hostname may be of some use but reject_unknown_helo_hostname is a huge risk for rejecting legitimate messages.

    For example even spamcop.net confirmation emails are rejected due to their servers configuration. If, by any chance, the helo name does not match a valid IP address then a legitimate message is very well rejected. Last week I had this issue even with Apple Cloud - legitimate messages beeing rejected!

    I advise change reject_unknown_helo_hostname to warn_if_reject reject_unknown_helo_hostname then watch the logs for some time see the results.

    Please don't jump right in and operate changes without rigorous testing. Or it may affect all of us without even knowing it.
