First in reply to. .
... cannot find your hostname
Optional to add:
unknown_hostname_reject_code = 550
but if you have dns problems, everything gets rejected as Wiets already told
you.. .. but I think.. , so what, the sender does get the NDR, he can send
again but thats a choice. And think carefully about it.
Optional Add:
unknown_hostname_reject_code = 550
unknown_client_reject_code = 550
unknown_address_reject_code = 550
unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
And this is the best trick if all imo.
Setup Postfix with postscreen with multiple rbls. ( make sure you use postfix
2.10+
Like :
postscreen_dnsbl_sites =
zen.spamhaus.org*3
b.barracudacentral.org*2
bl.spameatingmonkey.net*2
dnsbl.anonmails.de
dnsbl.kempt.net
dnsbl.inps.de
bl.spamcop.net
dnsbl.sorbs.net
psbl.surriel.com
bl.mailspike.net
swl.spamhaus.org*-4
bl.suomispam.net
bad.psky.me
now create a fail2ban filter postfix-dnsblog.conf with :
[INCLUDES]
before = common.conf
failregex = client \[<HOST>\] blocked using multiple DNS-based blocklists
addr <HOST> listed by domain
and enable it,
Let it trigger on 1 hit, i have set the ban time to 1 week, if they come back
this time is extended with a week.. :-)
Result, you safe cpu time, resources, offload the dns servers and reduce the
dns queries to the blocklist servers.
And optional the postscreen_dnsbl_reply_map.pcre file
!/^zen\.spamhaus\.org$/ multiple DNS-based blocklists, see
http://multirbl.valli.org/
Also i added a cacheing dns server on localhost, i have 3 forwarding dns ip
numbers with 3 different providers to reduce the chance of dns problems.
This works very very good for me, until now no errors, running a year with this
setup now.
Last one to help out agains spam.
Add this to your dns . ( make user tarbaby is the highest MX.)
MX 30 tarbaby.junkemailfilter.com.
The guys at junkeemailfilter.com check if the lower mx-s are up and so we help
in detecting spamming servers.
Read more about it here.

The junkemailfilter is used in my spamassassin.
