Most of the spam getting in my system is stamped with localhost.localdomain.
I have tried to use the helo_access file from a few sources. The ones I
tried either didn't work or made more of the spam messages get through.
One of the fixes I tried I got from:
http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#danger
Another of my attempts is described here:
http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/postfix-HELO.html
This one makes a lot of sense and would work great if I could get it
working.
This is what I have:
main.cf:
–------------------------------------
smtpd_delay_reject = yes
smtpd_helo_required = yes
smtpd_helo_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access,
permit
helo_access file:
–------------------------------------
127.0.0.1 REJECT Please use http://bouncedemail.apollo3.com to resolve
this issue
localhost REJECT Please use http://bouncedemail.apollo3.com to resolve
this issue
apollo3.com REJECT Please use http://bouncedemail.apollo3.com to resolve
this issue
localhost.localdomain REJECT Please use http://bouncedemail.apollo3.com
to resolve this issue
It makes sense, but it doesn't work. I never get the rejection message.
I also have this repeated hundreds of times an hour:

Hopefully someone can advise me of what I might be missing to make the
configuration work, or some other alternative.
Thanks!
