I think I've seen this mentioned before but can't find the answer. I'm
getting a bunch of spam where the sender MX ends up pointing to
127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0. Is there a way to reject this quickly? Not
only is there the obvious problem of a bounce, but many of the
destination users have moved and I'm forwarding to a box that does
detect this problem but does a "450 Domain in reverse-path
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> resolves to an invalid IP address" temp_fail
so even the ones with valid recipients are backing up in my queue.
We've been doing this for quite a while:
if ($RelayHostname eq "localhost") {
md_graphdefang_log('bounce',"PTR_to_localhost",$RelayAddr);
action_bounce("You are not localhost");
return action_discard();
}
if ($Helo eq "localhost") {
md_graphdefang_log('bounce',"HELO_localhost",$RelayAddr);
action_bounce("You are not me");
return action_discard();
}
Yesterday the first one rejected 1,257 and the second one 33,754.
Similar test for $Helo eq "128.59.48.6" (our IP address) got 13,969.
