= [[#___top|NAME]] =
resolvable_fromhost
= [[#___top|SYNOPSIS]] =
Determine if the from host resolves to a valid MX or host.
= [[#___top|DESCRIPTION]] =
The fromhost is the part of the email address after the @ symbol, provided by the sending server during the SMTP conversation. This is usually, but not always, the same as the hostname in the From: header.
'''resolvable_fromhost''' tests to see if the fromhost resolves. It saves the results in the transaction note ''resolvable_fromhost'' where other plugins can use that information. Typical results are:
<pre> a - fromhost resolved as an A record
mx - fromhost has valid MX record(s)
ip - fromhost was an IP
whitelist - skipped checks due to whitelisting
null - null sender
config - fromhost not resolvable, but I<reject 0> was set.</pre>
Any other result is an error message with details of the failure.
If '''resolvable_fromhost''' is enabled, the from hostname is also stored in ''resolvable_fromhost_host'', making it accessible when $sender is not.
= [[#___top|CONFIGURATION]] =
== [[#___top|reject < 0 | 1 | naughty >]] ==
If ''reject 1'' is set, the old require_resolvable_fromhost plugin behavior of temporary rejection is the default.
<pre> resolvable_fromhost reject [ 0 | 1 | naughty ]</pre>
Default: 1
== [[#___top|reject_type]] ==
<pre> reject_type [ perm | temp ]</pre>
Set ''reject_type perm'' to reject mail instead of deferring it.
Default: temp (temporary, aka soft, aka 4xx).
