As a follow up to the below (all with 3.22)
If I put this in:
host_reject_recipients = *.bay9.com : 216.126.9.43 : norm.xenos-systems.net
I start getting ALL hosts that fail a reverse lookup from working... I get
2001-04-13 10:18:19 recipients from [203.132.106.12] refused (failed to
find host name from IP address)
2001-04-13 10:20:30 recipients from [38.138.29.4] refused (failed to find
host name from IP address)
messages but they are not in the above list of rejects...
Can someone help me understand how this works? I have RTFM a bunch but it
doesn't click for me...
Thanks
Chad
