Hello Gilles,
Thank you for your response.
With regards to the question about negating ‘rdns’, can I explain how I
understand it and maybe you can confirm either way.
Using the example,
filter f01 phase connect match !rdns disconnect "550 missing rDNS"
On connection (connect) we check (match) if reverse dns is invalid (!rdns) and
if so then disconnect the session. For invalid, this would mean no reverse dns,
or an incorrectly configured reverse dns.
I did read the man page about ’smtpd.conf’, more so about filters and wanted be
sure I comprehend it.
Thanks
Nino
