Hi,

How can I reject connections from generic Forward Confirmed Reverse DNS
(FCrDNS) like “123-45-67-8.your.isp.com”.


For the most cases spamhaus is able to block it but with the cloud providers
with FCrDNS as follows not all of them are not blocked.

123-45-67-89.ip.linodeusercontent.com

ec2-12-34-56-789.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com


How can I reject these connections

The canonical answer is "check_client_access with a pcre table" but if you want something comprehensive that you don't need to actively manage yourself you should consider the "Enemies List" service: http://enemieslist.com. They use a rich set of non-obvious name patterns and important exceptions. You likely do NOT want to arbitrarily reject all mail from all hosts with programmatically IP-derived names, unless you are intending to engage in a secondary boycott of major mail service providers' (e.g. Microsoft) customers.

(and no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way.)
