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...
Policy decision. In our company I also use "reject_unknown_sender_domain", but I doubt that I would use it on an ISP mailserver. The best case would be to offer several classes of anti-spam measures and let the customer decide which one to choose.
Why not on an ISP? Resources? I'm curious... if you convince me, I'll stop being mad at them ;-) So far, I have never received a good email from a bad sender domain, all of them are spam. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
