While we're at it, I find the
smtpd_hard_error_limit = 100
way too high -- yesterday listserv.gmd.de (not sure about the hostname)
connected to our mailserver at innominate and tried to deliver a mail
WITHOUT initiating a SMTP dialogue first -- that bloody stupid thing
just sent the mail body. I've never seen that before. Postfix took ages
to notice that that server (VMS, LSMTP (?)) was sending crap before
closing the connection.
