JudgementDay Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have a stock install of Postfix from my Ubuntu repository. When I get spam coming consistently from a certain ISP, I block its IP range. I would rather not do this, but technical people under WHOIS don't take action against my complaints. I am wondering if there is a way to configure Postfix to do a MX lookup on the sender during the MTA transaction, to match the sending SMTP's server IP address against the one MX record for the mail thats coming from? Sender 1.2.3.4 (a@example.com) > My Server My Server > MX lookup example.com If MX for example.com contains 1.2.3.4, accept mail, else reject.

kicken Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Maybe this configuration would do it: smtpd_sender_restrictions reject_unknown_sender_domain Not sure, far from any kind of a postfix expert. That is just the closest thing I could find when I searched the man page.
