And I cant do that easily in postfix ,( I know you will point to dk-milter ) What is the point accepting the mail and the entire data and then scanning for DK when It should have ideally been rejected after "mail from:" So I let SA do the testing .. which catches the spams but eats resources of my servers. When you receive 3-5 million mails a day you tend to bother more about resources Thanks Ram
