do you do sender callout? If yes then you have found the answer.
There's no point in doing sender callout and then block the callout
because you do not like it... or better, there is a point, and that
is to hit your foot with the spade, as we say here...
Naturally, if you whitelist empty senders at RCPT you must block
spammy ones at DATA (or perhaps predata?).
sorry, I express myself with an improper analogy. (it should have
been: don't do to others...)
Leaving analogies alone, let me give you an example. I do do callouts
and for consistency:
# the remote callout/bounce messages accept rule (but only if for
existing local user)
accept domains = +local_domains
senders = :
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
if they proceed to the data phase (so it is not a callout) I apply
mercilessly my antispam rules.
