No. The second and subsequent attempts could all come from different hosts, so I don't include host-specific information when matching tuples. Although I do _store_ the sending IP address; see below. > How long do you accept mails from recorded tuples? > - 2 hours after first try? > - 2 weeks after first delivered mail? I accept the mail after 5 minutes. Once I've accepted a mail, I add the IP address of the host which _originally_ sent it to a list which is kept for ever, and I don't greylist mail from that host any more. There's no point in greylisting a host which is known to resend -- it just introduces delays for no good reason. > After what time do you drop tuples? > - 7 days? Tuples are dropped after a week.
