The recent discussion on GreyListing made me think that this is something that
I should really to: take it out of the box marked ''do later''.
I looked at the various implementations suggested for Exim and did not like
any of them and so wrote one that is:
* smaller in terms of exim.conf
* uses an sql procedure - should be faster
I have written it up at the URL below, I have put this up on a test machine and
it seems
to work.
I would be grateful if this was looked at by the collected wisdom of the
various readers of this list.
I have marked it beta, I will make changes if you can see bugs or think that
the documentation
is not good enough.

Notes for discussion:
* It stores sending-domain & IP address of sender.
If a site sends from many MTAs it will be greylisted many times.
The alternative would be to record then entire sender address ([email protected]),
however I do see spam that supposedly originates from the machine that it
is being sent to -- so not a good idea.
