Hi,
I'm currently fine-tuning my mail server (Postfix and Dovecot on CentOS 7).
SPF, DKIM and DMARC work fine, now I'd like to limit the spam tsunami.
Besides the official Postfix documentation, I've read a few articles about
Postfix spam restrictions, namely these :

nut".
It has no place in 2020's anti-spam.

You may use "warn_if_reject reject_unknown_helo_hostname" for some time and

it is somewhat idiotic to seek to bring the whole Politically Correct debate to

Yes, the request is political. Politics is about how we live and work
together, how we treat each other. Software, particularly open source
software, is not just inanimate objects. It is developed and nurtured
within a community of real people who live in our very real society.
