Filter based on just HELO is bad. I would suggest Suresh you also don't use it. Come on Suresh, you mean to say I on dial-up cannot send you any mails. That is bad.
Why bad? One of the best methods to cull spam...
You are mixing two entirely different things.
1. HELO rejects - those depend on the HELO, not on the connecting IP
2. Check for the connecting IP - if it is a dialup, or an open relay / proxy then reject the mail
Both are quite effective - the HELO checks far more than the IP rejects, right now.
ugghhhh. Is sourceforge serious? You mean it will connect to my domain and actually use the VRFY verb to check if my email address / username exists?
MAIL FROM: / RCPT TO: actually, most if not all servers don't enable VRFY by default.
p.s. are you the "middle-class system administrator"
That hserus is...too bad we dont have slangfests like nanae here :)
nanae is .... different.
