Thanks Chris - that works. What I want to do is basically leave message
in the logs of hosts with bad reverse lookup with the hope that they
will fix it. Here's my code.
defer message = DEFER - Your REVERSE DNS is broken on IP
$sender_host_address Please FIX IT!
condition = ${if eq{$sender_host_name}{}}
condition = ${if match{$tod_zulu}{[05]Z\$}{yes}{no}}
The idea here is I return a temp error 1 in 5 times. Not enough to block
them. But enough to maybe get people's attention when they look at their
logs. Hopefully someone will notice it and fix it.
I recommend that everyone do this and if they did it would improve
things in general.
