Hi,

why there is no `reject_rbl_sender` restriction? It probably does not
make so much sense as `reject_rbl_client`, but it would help me in my
spam battle. Quite a lot of emails come from servers not listed inside
Spamhause blacklists, but sender's domain points to blacklisted IP.

For example yesterday came email from: Jaromil
<jaromilbfc3...@spplalru.com> from client: bounce.countrcultur.com
[66.45.255.215]

Client is not blacklisted under Spamhaus, but lets have a look in more
detail to sender.

# Domain is not listed:
> host spplalru.com.dbl.spamhaus.org
Host spplalru.com.dbl.spamhaus.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

# Check for IP:
> host spplalru.com
spplalru.com has address 185.140.110.3

# But the domain point on blacklisted server!
> host 3.110.140.185.zen.spamhaus.org
3.110.140.185.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.2


And this is not a unique case! In fact most of spam that pass my
anti-spam setting would be filtered with such restriction according
sender domain. Maybe it is more problem of Spamhaus and its list
synchronization, I do not know.

Or is there any fundamental reason why rejecting emails according
sender's domain IP is not a good idea?


My best wishes,
Martin Jiřička
