That isn't what spamdyke is trying to accomplish here. This checks to
see if the sender is trying to spoof the MTA. What spamdyke is trying to
do is to blacklist emails based upon the ip address embedded in the
sending domain name. For example:

If I get mail from 208.1.48.3 and it's reverse domain lookup resolves to
customer.208.001_48.3.sample.com and sample.com is on my list it is
blocked.


Again, it's available with the following configuration parameter:

   check_reverse_client_hostname_access type:table

Table should have key "sample.com" and RHS = REJECT, blah

Table details:

Chris, I'm still unclear on how to do this. How could you write a regular express to check to see if the connecting ip address is buried in the reverse dns lookup.

In my example, spamdyke would reject customer.208.001_48.3.sample.com, but customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com would not be rejected because it doesn't match the ip address of the sending MTA. This prevents rejecting reverse dns names with strings of arbitrary numbers in them.

Gary,

I am sorry, but things are a bit unclear here. Is it "don't block misconfigured clients but do block clients with proper rdns in this domain"?

What do you mean by "customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com would not be rejected because it doesn't match the ip address of the sending MTA"? That customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com A would not map back to the ip of server whose PTR record points to customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com?
