In case of HELO-checks: You get rid of tons of spam by loosing just a hand full of regular mail (and that does not get bitbucketed but rejected without ressource consumption). > he just doesn't receive > mails from people who probably don't have any influence on their > provider's smarthost.

I did not say that I blacklist hosts on RBLs. I said, I want hosts on RBLs to behave correctly. I don't trust RBLs ultimately, so my setup allows (nearly) *anyone* in this world to send mail to me *if* he behaves correctly. > so, i can conclude: > as BOFHCHECKHELO is 1 per default, courier-mta is not an RFC-compliant > mail-server. now that's great news. :( An administrator is free to look at all options of his software and change it to his preferences before he sets it up in the real internet. In fact, I think an administrator really should know what he's doing and what his settings do. cu, Bernd -- Wir alle wissen, was wir unserem Vaterland schulden.
