    I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, but I'll take another look at the
    postfix docs and see if i can work something out. The following seems to
    work quite well for me, but still allows quite a lot through.

    smtpd_data_restrictions =
            reject_unauth_pipelining,
            permit

    smtpd_sender_restrictions =
            reject_non_fqdn_sender,
            reject_unknown_sender_domain,
            permit

    smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
            permit_sasl_authenticated,
            permit_mynetworks,
            reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
            reject_non_fqdn_sender,
            reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
            reject_unknown_sender_domain,
            reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
            reject_unauth_destination,
            check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_checks,
            check_recipient_access pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_checks,
            check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_checks,
            check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_checks,
            reject_invalid_hostname,
    # reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,
    # reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org,
    # reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org,
    # reject_rbl_client pbl.spamhaus.org
            permit

    I would love to see your postfix config. I get something like 10 - 15 spams a
    day, normally. But with amavisd down, I'm getting that every hour now...
