most of them are empty by default iirc.

is no value is given, afaik the default is permit. That's why the default value of smtpd_relay_restrictions is not empty by
edfault

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject

Yes the default value is empty and so to allow all connections but that doesn't mean that that behavior is the same if the attribute isn't empty. That's not 100 percent clear in the documentation.

Does that mean if I don't put some kind of 'reject' rule at the end all the rules aren't restricting anything because I have a default allow at the end anyway?
