You are right. Well, in any case, my backscatter would have "nimrodel.valinor" as the source, so it serves them right if they do accept it! ;-P
Grin! What would I give, if I could just implement strict RFC compliance checks on our company server, for example "reject_unknown_helo_hostname".
I see a lot of regular servers announcing themselves as "mail.intranet" or "exchange.local" and the like.
Well, what I'm bothered is receiving email from my ISP boxes with false envelope from.I don't understand why they don't check it. My postfix doesn't accept it, so fetchmail leaves it there - but it doesn't delete them either: a dns failure can be temporary, so mail is not rejected finally, but given a "try later". That's how it should be, but... it means I have to go and delete them manually from the boxes. I might be better off by accepting them and letting spamassassin take care of those...
Probably my subconscious mind chooses "reject" as a way of punishing them... Ok, ok, I'll start reviewing my config O:-)
I feel for you, man! I always get this warm fuzzy feeling when I see the reject rate on my server spike. (^-^)
X-)
Recently I had a few thousand rejects when a spammer decided to use "localhost" as HELO. Sometimes I really wonder if the evolution theory is valid.
