BTW: Are there patches to support calling filter_helo directly, rather than bundling it as part of filter_sender?
Here's why: certain sites that don't get a lot of external mail but do need to be "open" to the outside all the same (and no email addresses on these machines are published in any way to the outside world) have open security, i.e. they will answer a "EXPN" or "VRFY". But they shouldn't do this if a connection comes in from a site we don't trust, and indeed if we see a bogus HELO, I'd like to give a 5xx response right then and there. So... what's involved in getting mimedefang to look at and respond to the HELO command directly? Has anyone looked into this?
