    That's not always the right thing to do IMO. Your own users should
    still pass all those checks, and if they don't, you can't deliver it
    anyway. Might as well tell them NOW as to wait and let them get the
    bounce after $maximal_queue_lifetime passes.

    Some would rightly argue against the reject_unknown_*_domain checks.
    That's a policy matter for me. Sure, if the DNS is down, you might
    reject mail to the MUA that ultimately could have been delivered. My
    userbase is small enough that I can handle getting phone calls about
    this. But indeed, a large service should put those after
    reject_unauth_destination.

    Yes. It's not real effective, but it sure doesn't hurt.
