good argument, but on the other hand the handling of many clients destroys the intention of the option and possibly introduces more problems and it should solve intentionally my quoted message generated by outlook was a uncommented forwarding of a customer sending to a user in his own domain with a typo and i had already written the reply "please use smtp authentication in your mail-client.." because this is often forgot by users until i thought "wtf where is the real reason in this pseudo-bounce" and observed the log > Hence, my request for suggestions how we would document this. Maybe > we can use a name similar, but not identical, to "smtpd_reject_footer" what about a boolean option activly set to 1 for a changed behavior to add the "smtpd_reject_footer" directly to the builtin response? maybe easier to explain, but i am not good in documentation at all
