MAILFROM         envfrom

 

will fail if the envelope "from" address has an invalid domain, or no MX or
A record (either would be valid mail server pointers) - in which case I will
reject the email outright (if they won't let me respond - then I am not
interested in what they have to say).

 

Also.

 

IPNOTINMX       ipnotinmx           x              x              0
-1

 

This will give 1 point CREDIT if the test does NOT fail.

I other words, it does not punish people if the sender's IP happens to be
different from the MX, but reduces the spam score if sender IS also the MX.

My Alligate (up stream of Declude) adds NOMX to the header if the sender's
mail from address has no MX.

 

Does Declude have a similar test?

 

Some spam is getting by my Declude / Message Sniffer, and I'm trying to find
ways to affect it.  I see Alliagte's NOMX in the header for just about all
of them.

 

If I put NOMX in a custom Declude filter to take advantage of Alligate's
homework, how many false positives do you think I'd get?  Does much
legitimate mail come in without an MX?

 

For those who chime in, thanks!
