Fighting Absurdity With Absurdity:
THIS SITE AND ALL CONTENT THEREIN IS ENTIRELY PERSONAL IN NATURE; THEREFORE THE OPINIONS, COMMENTS, BELIEFS, ET CETERA THEREIN MAY NOT BE CONSTRUED AS BEING THAT OR ENDORSED BY ANY EMPLOYER OF MINE, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, THOR, MARS, THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER, OR THAT BUM WHO JUST BILKED YOU OUT OF A CIGARETTE. BY THE WAY, THAT DUDE MAKES MORE PANHANDLING THAN YOU DO AT YOUR OFFICE JOB.
I’ve long crusaded against the sometimes asinine, almost always problem-causing e-mail breaking measures taken by some; but I give up. The spammers have won.
Postfix and Localhost
Very useful additions to anyone’s master.cf:
smtpd_helo_required = yes
smtpd_delay_reject = no
disable_vrfy_command = yes
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname
I’m an avid opponent of filtering based on ‘localhost’, as localhost is a perfectly cromulent name for a system. But I’m tired of you people, and your wee beedy eyes, and that smug look on your face. Ohhh, I’m going to buy your v1agr4, ohhhhhh.
Note: Still working out comments/etc. theming. Please ignore the ugliness.
