Hi folks, I'm looking for some opinions on which ACLs to use. For example, I would like to reject connections when the sender tries to forge my IP address in the HELO/EHLO statement. I would have figured the best place to do this would be in the acl_smtp_helo ACL. I did some research and most examples I found were in not in the acl_smtp_helo ACL. Would it not be a good idea to do sender verification in the acl_smtp_mail ACL? Is it generally better to do as many 'rejections' as possible in the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL b/ most MTAs will handle that better? Is there any other reason, except for compatiblity with dumb MTAs, to not make use of the other ACLs?
