So I have,
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
check_helo_access regexp:/etc/postfix/heloaccess.cf

If I put the following into heloaccess.cf, for .cc hostnames,
/^.*\.[a-z][a-z]$/ reject_unknown_helo_hostname

Am I adding to the restrictions? Making it,
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
check_helo_access regexp:/etc/postfix/heloaccess.cf,
reject_unknown_helo_hostname

Or am I replacing the restrictions? Making it only,
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_unknown_helo_hostname

On a hit of the regexp rule, would the existing
smtpd_sender_restrictions and smtpd_recipient_restrictions
still be processed?

Magnus Bäck put forth on 8/22/2010 10:04 AM:
A regexp match will cause the reject_unknown_helo_hostname restriction
to be evaluated. If it indeed results in a rejection the mail will be
rejected no matter what.

That's not necessarily true.  It depends on the order of his
smtpd_*_restrictions and whether he's using delayed evaluation.  If he's
using the multiple section restrictions style with delayed eval it's
possible he may have an "OK" in a later table that causes the mail to be
accepted even after the regexp check returned REJECT.

smtpd_delay_reject = on
smtpd_helo/client/recipient/sender_restrictions are all defined.

Reading RESTRICTION_CLASS_README confused me as to whether adding a Restriction (or a defined smtpd_restriction_classes group), to the right side of an access table, would be done in Addition-To or In-Place-Of the already existing smtpd_helo/client/recipient/sender_restrictions.

What i'm getting out of the responses so far is: If there's not an OK or PERMIT in my additional restriction or class group, all of the existing smtpd_helo/client/recipient/sender_restrictions will still be applied.
Right?

So for widely used and well defined domain mail servers like comcast.net, I could use a more restrictive rule like:
/^.*\.comcast.net$/ reject_unknown_client_hostname

?Or maybe even chain rules together?
check_helo_access regexp:/etc/postfix/heloaccess
/^.*\.comcast.net$/ check_reverse_client_hostname_access regexp:/etc/postfix/comcast

With /etc/postfix/comcast containing:
/qmta01.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net/ DUNNO
/qmta02.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net/ DUNNO
/etc...mail.comcast.net DUNNO
/.*/ REJECT
