Thank you for the suggestion. I think the following are the relevant lines
of output:

</snip>

  5976 check !condition = ${if eq{$received_port}{587}}
  5976                  =

</snip>

I'm not quite following the above - does it mean that the reverse dns lookup
fails somewhere, or is it deferred for some reason by the remote end? No
mention of the DELAY anywhere, though

The PTR *or* the A lookup seem to be deferred for some reason (I'm not
sure, if I could tell, which of these two queries fails).

A deferral is no final decision. So the ACL condition doesn't know if it
should return failure or success. It helps itself by returning the
deferral (4xx), which in turn aborts the ACL processing and returns 4xx
to the client

     drop  message = …
           ! verify = reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok
           delay = 600s

… would change it, but probably it is not your intention. I think, we do
not have a /defer_fail option, do we? And I'm not sure if this wouldn't
induce another source of trouble…

Yes, a way to turn a defer into a hard fail is what I would need in this case. Am I correct in thinking that when the defer happens and the ACL processing is aborted, the DELAY gets skipped? If that is the case, is there any way to still process the DELAY?
