<b>NAME</b><br>
CheckFromHeader - slow.conf configuration item
<p>
<b>SYNOPSIS</b><br>
<code><ul>
CheckFromHeader = [true | false]
</ul></code>
<p>
<b>DESCRIPTION</b><br>
The CheckFromHeader slow.conf configuration item can allow
the <code>From:</code> header to be checked for validity.
It also allows the host part of the SMTP MAIL FROM: address
to be check for valitity.
<p>
If this CheckFromHeader slow.conf configuration item is declared as
true (or if it is omitted which defaults to true), the Milter
will first check the <code>From:</code> header (if there is one in the
message). If that header's host part cannot be looked up
with <i>gethostbyname</i>, that bad status is marked by setting
the <b>frm</b> event (as described in the
<a href="../slowedit/events.html">standard event set</a>).
<p>
If this CheckFromHeader slow.conf configuration item is false, 
the above check is skipped.
In the event you have a slow network, or slow DNS lookups,
you may wish to define this CheckFromHeader as false, because
<i>gethostbyname</i> may cause your Milter to time out and
thus to become inefective.
