this really the case? Where would I insert the greylisting plugin in
the configuration?
The plugins are registered FIFO for each hook, i.e. the first RCPT
plugin listed in the config file will run first, then any subsequent
RCPT plugins, until one returns something other than DECLINED. To quote
README.plugins:
Generally all plugins for a hook are processed until one returns some-
thing other than "DECLINED".
Plugins are run in the order they are listed in the "plugins" configu-
ration.
Can you suggest a way to word that differently so that it would be clearer?
The complicating factor is that some plugins register for several hooks,
so, although they might work fine listed later in the config file, they
may be more effective listed earlier (i.e. they will correctly discard
spam as soon as possible).
