This is a most excellent suggestion! It's blocking not just spam but tons of
virusses too! Any ideas on how much legitimate mail is blocked?

Thanks, that should do it! If they have a missconfigured mta,
they should configure it! :) Or just switch to Courier.. :))


There is the "opt BOFHCHECKHELO=1" bofh option, but it will
check the
validity of a HELO/EHLO in a wide variety of ways.  You will end up
bouncing an occasional non-spam message from a misconfigured mail
server.

But, in today's environment, the tradeoff is worth it, in
my opinion.
This simple check is sufficient to block at least 50% of spam.
