Policyd-weight is a postfix policy daemon which allows weighted usage of RBL/RHSBL lookups and verification of IP/HELO/MAIL FROM DNS relationships at SMTP RCPT TO stage, i.e. before the DATA command.

Policyd-weight 0.1.12 now comes with an own cache daemon which minimizes frequent DNS lookups and decreases drastically response times. Also it is now multirecipient aware and useable for E-Mail ISPs.

Policyd-weight is a policy daemon for the postfix MTA, written in perl. It scores RBLs, RHSBLs, HELO argument, Client IP and MAIL FROM argument for correct DNS relationships and sums up a score on which you can reject the mail before DATA will be received plus its results are cached. This way one can save Bandwidth, Mem and CPU-cycles on his mailer. The project is located at http://policyd-weight.sourceforge.net
