That is a relief when I get to the new version.
In the mean time I am still having trouble with the workaround. My
config now says:
smtpd_helo_restrictions =
check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/heloaccept.cidr
That got rid of the dictionary error however it does not work as I
expected. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what this is doing. The last
entry in heloaccept.cdir is:
0.0.0.0/0 REJECT
The behavior seems to be that anything not listed in the cdir file is
getting rejected (actually it says 'access denied'). The behavior I am
looking is the same as reject_unknown_client unless the IP or network
is listed in the cdir file with OK before the above entry. What do I
have wrong?
Thanks.

Thanks or the reply. That sucks. Is there a way around this,
short of turning that off or whitelisting?
Tell the admin of the remote domain to fix their PTR records and/
or MX
helo configuration because in the meantime, you're going to have to
implement a dirty hack to make their server work.
But the PTR needs no "fix".
The IP resolves to a hostname perfectly fine , only that the hostname
does not resolve.
Is that a valid reason to reject mails ?
I had to remove the reject_unknown_client because of this.
I hope postfix would have a *reject_no_ptr* .. that just checks for
PTR
record exists.
From Postfix 2.3 on you can use
reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname:
