Yes, there is lots of good info out there. I spent ages re-formatting my
main.cf so I could easily identify, set up and maintain particularly the
smtpd_* options using nice stacked options starting with white spaces.
That way I know what will be checked and in which order. I have also been
using an extension to the 'single Postfix instance' MailScanner rule,
allowing me to block using other headers. Put all other lines *above* the
Received: check for MailScanner but you can use regex to block based on
Subject: (Crossing threads slightly :-) ) From: or anything else you
fancy. It's been very effective rejecting mail from a broken mailer at my
car insurance company (2000 copies of the same confirmaton in 2 hours).
