Hi all,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on the following setting:
I have been using it for the last couple of years on a server I administer and I haven't thought anything of it until today when an email started getting rejected. There is a travel agency that uses a third party for their email services. This caused their mail to be rejected because of the following:
Fictitious information below:
Email originates from 6.6.4.3 but the reverse lookup does not match the email address of travelco.com. Email is rejected as being spoofed.
It had not occurred to me before that this sort of situation may happen. Do you think this reject setting is too strict in real life situations?

reject_unknown_client_hostname
