Can Postfix rejecting sender if no matching MX record?


Recommended Posts

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 ([email protected]) > My Server

My Server > MX lookup example.com

If MX for example.com contains 1.2.3.4, accept mail, else reject.

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.
