Hi,

How can I reject connections from generic Forward Confirmed Reverse DNS
(FCrDNS) like “123-45-67-8.your.isp.com”.


For the most cases spamhaus is able to block it but with the cloud
providers with FCrDNS as follows not all of them are not blocked.

123-45-67-89.ip.linodeusercontent.com

ec2-12-34-56-789.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com


How can I reject these connections

When there is dmarc = none it doesn't work, and I would rather stop the connection request at the very beginning, meaning if your rDNS is not who you are claiming to be then sorry.

The rDNS being generic is very different from rDNS being wrong. Generic rDNS is lazy, but it's not inherently deceptive. Postfix has long had simple reject_* directives for shunning clients with no PTR record and for those with a rDNS name that doesn't resolve back to the client IP.
