The current check_badmailfrom plugin is somewhat useless for spam control because it requires literal matches on domain names, and the spammers tend to use varying subdomains in the HELO, such as mx1.domain.com, mx2.domain2, etc., where, once you block a specific subdomain, they simply use another. I assume they do that because it is cheaper to re-use the domain name, rather than registering a new one.

I am looking for an enhanced version of the check_badmailfrom plugin that also supports wildcards (as in .domain.com) or regular expressions. Does anyone here know where I might find such a plugin?

Regards,
Peter
