Hello,

I am using postfix version 2.5.6.

For years I have been using the settings:




smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
   permit_mynetworks,
   reject_unauth_destination,
   permit

smtpd_client_restrictions =
                            permit_sasl_authenticated,
                            reject_unknown_address,
                            reject_unknown_client,
                            reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname,
                            check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access,
                            reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org



And that has been useful to fight some of the spam.

Now I need to connect from different places, from outside "mynetworks", from hotels etc... and some of them can't be reverse looked up. So I setup TLS and sasl, I get prompted for a password and it only accept the right password, so it is basically working (and I can see the TLS connection in the log). But, when I do that from outside mynetworks, and from an ip that cannot be reverse looked up, the only way I can get it working is by commenting out the three "*unknown*", otherwise I get a "450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname":




smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
   permit_sasl_authenticated,
   permit_mynetworks,
   reject_unauth_destination,
   permit


smtpd_client_restrictions =
                            permit_sasl_authenticated,
                            # reject_unknown_address,
                            # reject_unknown_client,
                            # reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname,
                            check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access,
                            reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org




Is there anyway to tell postfix to accept to relay mail from an authenticated host, even if it is on an ip that cannot be reverse looked up, but yet, reject non-authenticated connections from hosts with this type of address.


I realise this is the wrong mailing list for this, but just in case, is there a way to tell thunderbird to use the same password for the smtp connection as it used for the imap connection ?


Thanks.
