if you insist, you could use one of

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unknown_client_hostname

but use at your own risks. In particular, reject_unknown_client_hostname (previously: reject_unknown_client) _will_ block or delay legitimate mail.

Will it block or delay it? Can I set the error code to a tempfail instead of a outright rejection. Blocking legitimate mail that fails dns checks is one thing, rejecting it outright is another thing altogether.

Seems at least half the spam that gets by zen shows up as client=unknown

how much is half of what...


I don't understand the question.
