Hi,

Where did you see that this description says it's compatible with broken
mail server or that spam and viruses are always trapped? The only thing
I understand when reading this is that it reduces the "spam level" by
"an order of magnitude", and that "legitimate e-mail is never trapped"
as when the SPF check is passed, greylisting doesn't occure. The fact
that it's written that Spamassassin and ClamAV are compatible clearly
shows that it might be wise to use them at the same time.

I would agree to rephrase, but:

1/ This description is the one of the upstream that you can see here:

http://www.tummy.com/Community/software/tumgreyspf/

on the project home page. And

2/ I find it quite accurate.

Let me know if you still do not agree, and maybe give a proposal for
something better if you can. Anyway, thanks for having a look at the
package.

Thomas
