Bug#272753: RFP: sqlgrey -- Greylisting implementation for Postfix that uses SQL

[Karl O. Pinc]

I also would like to see sqlgrey in debian.  Both it
and postgrey have evolved since the original request
and they are not the same in either functionality
or the underlying infrastructure needed to support
them.

Bug#272753: RFP: sqlgrey -- Greylisting implementation for Postfix that uses SQL

[Klaus Alexander Seistrup]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: sqlgrey
  Version : 1.1

  Description : Greylisting implementation for Postfix

SQLgrey is a postfix policy service implementing a greylisting policy.

SQLgrey is a fork of the postgrey greylisting service for Postfix.

SQLgrey is written in Perl and uses DBI to access an SQL database.

SQLgrey needs:

  * Perl,
  * DBI,
  * Net::Server::Multiplex,
  * MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite.

The main drawback of greylisting as it was done by postgrey was the
delaying of legit emails.

This is nearly solved by the auto-white-listing mechanisms built into
SQLgrey :

  * When a sender has been seen coming from a given IP address, it is
automatically accepted when coming again from the same IP address.
  * When several senders from the same domain have been seen coming
from the same IP address, senders from the same domain are accepted
when coming from the same IP address.
