NAME
Forward Confirmed RDNS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCrDNS
DESCRIPTION
Determine if the SMTP sender has matching forward and reverse =
DNS.
Sets the connection note fcrdns.
WHY IT WORKS
The reverse DNS of zombie PCs is out of the spam operators =
control.
Their only way to pass this test is to limit themselves to hosts =
with
matching forward and reverse DNS. At present, this presents a
significant hurdle.
There's more POD that explains the tests, config settings, and method.=20=
Much like many other plugins, fcrdns is not reliable enough (only about =
90%) to use for message rejection. However, when combined with any sort =
of heuristics system such as the karma plugin, the fcrdns plugin =
provides another extremely reliable indication of spam likelihood.=20
