It appears qmail-toaster does headers differently.  The received from unknown, not sure if a bug, or if that is how they set it up, since right after that it has the (helo hostname) IP.

It appears to be a regex problem in the perl script for spamassassin.

Using spamdyke protects you from this, so enable spamdyke and disable rdns none in spamassassin.

Find and Change /etc/spamassassin/local.cf:

Code: [Select]
score RDNS_NONE 0

That's what I did but about 5% of legitimate email do no have reverse ptr records setup correctly. I would prefer to increase the spam score instead of blocking those completely without RDNS. People really should learn to setup mx records, reverse dns, DKIM, and SPF.

+1 Joe, those are all important things, and I agree.  I block them, if they are not serious enough about security, spam, and maintaining the proper records - sorry. ;)

It doesn't work ! Still good e-mail are rejected because no reverse DNS or MX while it works well.

Did you uncheck "Reject Messages From Server Without MX Records" in the spamdyke settings? I decided to only use the first option "Reject Servers Without RDNS Names".

Here's what you need to do to get SPF checks working in Spamassassin which is really helping reduce spam and helps legitimate mail get through.

1. yum install perl-Mail-SPF

2. Create new file located here etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.pre

Add the following line:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF

3. Adjust scores accordingly in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

score   SPF_HELO_FAIL
score   SPF_FAIL
score   SPF_HELO_PASS
score   SPF_PASS
