Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to quarantine emails blocked by DNSBL.
I understand that DNSBL is part of pre-checks, but it would be really useful to quarantine these too as some legit emails are being blocked, while the recipient is not being informed.

Thank you.
 
Hey,

not really. You could give dnsbl_threshold[1] a try, but with these checks postfix doesn't even accept the mail, there is nothing to put into quarantine so to say. There's also a SMTP whitelist[2], but for DNSBL you have to enter IPs. So a combination of tweaking the threshold and maybe adopting your rule-system a bit should get you somewhat close to what you are looking for.
