Configure additional settings for Postfix if you need.
However, you should consider to apply the settings,It's possible to reject many spam emails with the settings below. because sometimes normal emails are also rejected with them. Especially, there are SMTP servers that forward lookup and reverse lookup of their hostnames on DNS do not match even if they are not spammers. |
