Question - in Postfix do "user unknown" rejections still incur a dns RBL lookup, or does the rejection occur before reject_rbl_client?
HELO/EHLO rejections do not reach RBL, and neither do unknown, as long as you specify the right order in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions settings. These should be 'cheapest to most expensive' which means RBLs should be last.
The order IS important on the restrictions. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger.
