Package: postfix
Version: 2.2.4-1.0.1
Severity: normal

When sending mail from a private host (with a host name that
doesn't resolve via public DNS in the From and probably MAIL FROM)
via a relay host to my Debian system, the message is rejected with
this log message:

NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from <relay host name>[<relay address>]: 450 
<<user>@<private host name>>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; 
from=<<user>@<private host name>> to=<<user>@<Debian host>> proto=SMTP 
helo=<<relay domain name>>

The important part is
"450 ...: Sender address rejected: Domain not found"

This suggests the mail is being rejected due to
*smtpd_sender_restrictions* being in effect, yet the Postfix
documentation states
http://www.postfix.org/uce.html#smtpd_sender_restrictions

    Default:
        smtpd_sender_restrictions =

        By default, the Postfix SMTP server accepts any sender address.

My configuration file, main.cf, lacks this directive, and
postconf shows that it remains at the default value of empty.

Explicitly adding an empty directive also rejects these messages.
