    EHLO lolucanhazspam happening too often for your tastes?

    Have Postfix respond with, "u sent me spam, but i ated it":

    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

    Over the past hour, I've seen this minor config change slay 60% of spam inbound to my personal mailserver.

    Remember: Default software configs given to you by your favorite Linux distribution will usually suck. Modify 'em.
