I do, in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions. However, I was under the
impression that (especially since the log explicitly states that this
was a HELO rejection) the smtpd_recipient_restrictions were not involved
in the rejection. The real hostname that the connection is originating
from is FQDN (h-67-101-217-37.phlapafg.covad.net), as are the to and
from email addresses. The only problem is with the hostname given in the
HELO command, so why should a recipient restriction affect it? Are they
in fact related? Thanks.
