Feature Request
Context
I was receiving quite some amount of spam from servers with invalid reverse DNS records (or none at all)
Is your Feature Request related to a Problem?
After manually adding the following to my user-patches.sh, these servers are no longer able to send spam to my server because their reverse client hostname does not match the current record or they do not specify a hostname at all.
sed -i "s/smtpd_sender_restrictions = /smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname, /" /etc/postfix/main.cf
sed -i "s/smtpd_sender_restrictions = /smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_client_hostname, /" /etc/postfix/main.cf
Describe the Solution you'd like
It might be a good idea to make this configurable, so that you can choose whether to let such servers deliver mail or not. Some mail providers (especially the home-made ones) might not have a reverse DNS record, so everyone should be able to decide for themselves if they want to block these servers.
Are you going to implement it?
Yes, because I know the probability of someone else doing it is low and I can learn from it.
What are you going to contribute??
A PR with the appropriate patch.
Additional context
Alternatives you've considered
Not implementing it at all and sticking with the user-patches.sh file
Who will that Feature be useful to?
Those who suffer from a lot of spam from these rouge mail servers
What have you done already?
Added the above mentioned lines to my user-patches.sh file
