Some legitmate senders are mis-configured, so it would be good to always
know the sender and recipient of blocked mail.

If you want to block clients without wasting Postfix SMTP server resources,
consider turning on postscreen. With this, many spambots don't even get to
talk to a Postfix SMTP sertver process.

https://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html

This will log sender and recipient information.

Postscreen relies on DNS reputation services. You would need to configure
your resolv.conf to use your own resolver, not a public one.

Thank you Wietse, I already have Postscreen, and blocks many attacks,
however, there are still a large amount that pass, and are managed by
Postfix, having as common approach, an incorrect hostname in the "helo".

Many senders are mis-configured, it's true, perhaps I'll set to "yes" again,
some time.

Best Regards,
