Thanks for clarification. Reading the docs of delay_reject brings up another question: "Wait until the RCPT TO command before evaluating $smtpd_client_restrictions, $smtpd_helo_restrictions and $smtpd_sender_restrictions" Does this mean that a condition in smtpd_helo_restrcitiosn which triggers a "REJECT" will, upon entering RCPTO TO mode, result in the rejection with nothing else evaluated? (aka: does the documentation have an implicit "in that order" after the $smtpd_sender_restrictions" ? If so, it sill makes sense to put them all in smtpd_recipient_restrictions as you can be explicitely order the excecution of tests from any of the phases in the order that suits you (aka: permit a sender before the test for helo are done).
