 From one of your emails, I decided to try:

smtpaccess:

64.4    allow,BOFHCHECKHELO=0

bofh:

opt BOFHCHECKHELO=1
freemail hotmail.com yahoo.com google.com

seem to do a good job for me, I had taken freemail out and stuck
it in just to see what would happen.  The above does reject a few
good emails but far fewer than I had expected and rejects a ton
of spam that I wasn't catching until spamassassin with maildrop.
I'm also adding a few attitional allows in smtpaccess for those
but I would still have to do that with the bofh that you are
suggesting, wouldn't I?  So what would the advantage be?

I've only run this way for about 12 hours
but if possible I'm going to try to keep it going by making
necessary
adjustments

Thanks,

ed
