not them think mail delivered and 5 day later find out it not.

We know the risk, have done this with all our sendmail farm for many many
year with only one ever problem
We trust our multiple DNS, but accept cant trust senders.

sorry for english but I think you mean ;
unknown    571 We cannot accept your mails for no known DNS

I not see "unknown" as special keyword but for lack of knowledge are try
now.

or use an external policy service.

We thought use milter-regex, but this mean full duplicate all whitelist
since postfix not work like sendmail and honor access list in class, we try
check_client_access now to see if work well under recipient check, since we
want to whitelist some no PTR in earlier check we think not to put in client
or sender restrictions group.

Thaks for advice.
