Putting it as a recipient restriction only affects the timing (after the RCPT TO command), but not the effect.
Make sure that the "smtpd_recipient_restrictions =" is one really long line. We added line breaks to show you the example.rbl_reply_maps = hash:/$config_directory/rbl_reply
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
reject_rbl_client activationcode.r.mail-abuse.com,
reject_unauth_destination - Create the rbl_reply map, then "postmap" it.

"<TIME> <FIREWALL> dnsd[277]: 343 dnsd Warning: Asked about Address for
<IP ADDRESS>.activationcode.r.mail-abuse.com. -- server <SERVER IP> sent
(<IP ADDRESS>.activationcode.r.mail-abuse.com. A 127.1.0.4) - Answer includes data
under our authority."
To fix this, under DNS Records Tab, rename "127.in-addr.arpa" to 0.127.in-addr.arpa". If this does not work, rename "127.in-addr.arpa" to "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa".
The web page says to restart the firewall computer, but for some cases it works without a restart.
