Hi Group,

I have just started using OpenBSD & Spamd.

I want to ask a few questions.

In my current setup ( without Greylisting and OpenBSD :) ) I have a
few servers who's real ip is not exposed to internet. These servers (
MX for my clients ) are in Load Balanced mode. So the MX is defined as
the Virtual IP of the Load Balancer.

------
Current Setup:

Mailserver A ip address : x.x.x.1
MailServer B ip address : x.x.x.2
MailServer C ip address : x.x.x.3

LoadBalancer IP Address: x.x.x.4

MX setting : 10 foo.bar.com.
foo.bar.com  IN   A    x.x.x.4
-----

Now suppose I enable greylisting on all these machines, whenever a
mailserver connects to each of these servers it will be deferred
"separately" by each of these servers. This will result in more delay
in mail delivery. Is there any method I can share the Greylist
database between these machines .

Earlier when I had tested the Greylist perl script from Jon Atkins
site I had faced the similar issue.
But for this I was kind of lucky as the script depended on flat files,
which I had shared between all my servers.

Should I :
a) Now bypass the load balancer's virtual ip and advertise the actual
ip of these servers as MX.
b) I have to change certain spamd paramaters
c) Leave this and continue, as it won't have much impact on mail delay.

Kindly advise.

Thanx in advance

Regards
Ramdas
