Re: [spamdyke-users] spam with rDNS resolving to "localhost"

[BC via spamdyke-users]

I've got 127.0.0.1 in my "blacklist_ip" file and the system seems to 
be working fine.

This gets past the reject-empty-rdns filter.

Initially I thought these IPs has no rDNS – using dnsstuff, I get no 
result (normally meaning no rDNS). But using host or dig I see the 
IPs really do reverse resolve to localhost.

[spamdyke-users] spam with rDNS resolving to "localhost"

[Faris Raouf via spamdyke-users]

Dear all,

 

We're having problems with spam being allowed in from IPs with rDNS
resolving to "localhost".

This gets past the reject-empty-rdns filter.

 

Initially I thought these IPs has no rDNS - using dnsstuff, I get no result
(normally meaning no rDNS). But using host or dig I see the IPs really do
reverse resolve to localhost.

spamdyke[24468]: ALLOWED from: sqozt...@vnnic.net.vn to:
redac...@redacted.tld origin_ip: 113.168.188.219 origin_rdns: localhost
auth: (unknown) encryption: (none) reason: 250_ok_1470423419_qp_24501

Check rDNS:

 

# host 113.168.188.219

219.188.168.113.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer localhost.

 

 

# dig -x 113.168.188.219

Is figure that it is not safe to add "localhost" in our rdns blacklist file.
Wouldn't our real, local, localhost 127.0.0.1 potentially get blacklisted? 

 

Any suggestions as to what to do about this would be much appreciated!

 

Errmm.. in the back of my head there is a dim bell ringing about this issue
and so it might have been discussed before. Sorry if I'm asking something
that's already been covered at some point. Google hasn't helped in this
case.
