At the wish of `oh not again' ... Philip has already replied and
personally I cannot agree more however if I need to be more `flexible' I'm
not sure how to keep things reasonably tight but at the same time reduce
the number of false positives...
Have other people used the sender_ directive that says ignore certain
networks to any effect?
Yes I know that broken MTAs should be fixed etc....
Thanks.

Subject: sender_*_verify and coping with bad but non spam MTAs...
When we set up our first (PP) hub (quite a while ago) we followed the
maxims of RFC 1123 and were very liberal in what we accepted... times
have changed and there are quite a number of sites and senders where we
don't want to accept anything.
The trick seems to be in getting
mail from:<12345@???>
rejected
but not
mail from:<user@badly_configured_mta.com>
where the From: field is valid.
What are people's experiences, especially at large sites where it's not
always possibly just to block anyone or drop mail on the floor, like
Universities....?
Thanks
