Using whitelist_from_rcvd when there's no rDNS

2006-12-11 Thread Philip Prindeville
I was wondering if SA could be modified to take an IP address
for the second argument to whitelist_from_rcvd as well as a
domain/host name string.

Lately I seem to be dealing with a lot of small businesses with
poorly set-up mail servers, and no rDNS.  Sigh.

It would be useful to not bounce their email.

Thanks,

-Philip

Unfortunately, no. It would be a nice feature to add.
whitelist_from_rcvd_ip or some such.

On the consoling side, they'll have to fix that sooner or later.. much
of the civilized world will not accept email at all from a server with
no RDNS. Major ISPs included. (personally I greylist all hosts with no
RDNS but I don't blacklist them)

That said, in the general case I feel your pain and have much the same
problem.
