(that are reasonably effective at stopping some types of spam bogosity) You might look in sample-smtpd.cf for some help. The settings for my (LISTSERV-dedicated) Postfix instance (YMMV) include: strict_rfc821_envelopes = yes smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_invalid_hostname,reject_non_fqdn_hostname smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unknown_client smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_non_fqdn_sender,reject_unknown_sender_domain smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination,reject_unauth_pipelining [snip] Ben wrote: > The simplest fix for this is modify your go.user (add this line if it doesn't > exist, modify if it does exist): > > RUNMODE="TABLELESS SWGATE.LSOFT.COM" > export RUNMODE Should swgate.lsoft.com be in DNS? A simple command-line lookup does not resolve for me. Should LISTSERV servers participating in the networked backbone specify RUNMODE in go.user? Cheers, Glenn
