Curious on how restrictive others are making their subscriber_networks
filter,
And how forgiving of servers who's reverse DNS matches the filter.
What "best practices" are others following, and whats reasonable in your
opinions.

What brings this up is I spent half the day arguing with some list provider
because their HELO is an IP address, and is not ip-literal as the RFC asks.
I kept quoting the RFC and they said they believed they were following and
would not change. Whats funny is the thread started with a quote from them
to my customer saying they often have problems with spam filters blocking
them... I wonder why.. LOL

And now today this regexp is causing 'greif'

/(.*\.customer\..*)/  REJECT ACL subscriber_network, (customer) .....

Oct  8 11:58:30 mx1 postfix1/smtpd[35821]: 37D0E1FB326: reject: RCPT from
tri-lakes-net-130.bran.customer.centurytel.net[69.29.40.130]: 554
<tri-lakes-net-130.bran.customer.centurytel.net[69.29.40.130]>: Client host
rejected: ACL subscriber_network, (customer) see
http://mx.nwfl.net/?a=sn&m=tri-lakes-net-130.bran.customer.centurytel.net;
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> proto=ESMTP 

Now their MX does point to that IP,
And they have several ips in that range delegated to them, 
But it looks like centurytel.net still has authority.

Now a quick fix on my part is a DUNNO of course,
But I'de rather see them get their own REVDNS without the word "customer" or
maybe with "mx" somewhere in there...

Do you guys thing that's reasonable?
What are others doing?

Thanks in advancce,
Tom
