Which is what I'm doing at the office. There's 2 things that greylisting is good at. The first thing is stopping spam and worms. The second thing is exposing every misconfigured mail server and harebrained mail balancing scheme out there that you speak with on a regular basis. Rather than hacking up spamd, we have an extra "no rdr" in our pf.conf that ties to a table. That table has subnets and hosts in it, with comments that document who that server belongs to. Gmail is one example of a particularly frustrating set of mail servers to deal with. Two /24's (at least that I can recall off the top of my head). And it seems like a mail retry comes from damn near every IP if greylisting bounces it. I actually like the extra table method because we can comment in it, and let spamd manage the db without any interference from the sysadmins. -- Signing off, Joseph C.
