I received a private request for info on my Postfix config. I'm happy to
post to list.
This is the interesting bit:

Running under Debian 8, soon to be upgraded to Debian 9.
Postgrey is listening on TCP/10023.
As an aside I just saw this in my mail queue:
# mailq

<dave(a)horsfall.org>rg>... No reporting address for linode.com; see RFC 2142
(in reply to RCPT TO command))

That is aggressive standards compliance ;)

Ah yes... I get a fair amount of spam from linode.com, yet they have
no "abuse" reporting address, so I blocked the entire network; I do that
with any ISP not having it when I try and report spam.
I've since whitelisted you :-)

Hum.
I expect my message directly to you will bounce then, as I'm using
Linode as well.
I'm purposely sending this message to you so that it will (hopefully)
bounce. That way I can open a support case with Linode, as a customer,
and *hopefully* get them to change their policy. ;-)

Let's see what sort of cages I can rattle.
Note: I do not fault you for your black list. We are each free to run
our server(s) the way that we want to.

Ditto here. But Dave must have added this recently, as I have conversed
with him privately not longer than a month ago.
