I use openSUSE 12.3 with Postfix and the basic greylist.pl policy and Spamhaus lookup.

The one bundled with Postfix has been tested only with the default *BSD Berkeley DB implementation (db1.85). It should probably be retired. Wietse Thanks Wietse. I'm using the one bundled with Postfix. openSUSE 12.3 is on db4.8.3. ;-) It sounds like I should change to another greylist. Which would you recommend? Kind regards Niclas

It does what postgrey does, and more. And *much* more efficiently. postgrey is a popular implementation. I stopped using postgrey because I found it too bothersome to configure with the various Internet-incompetent companies that do things like retry from different servers or never retry at all. I was spending much too much time fixing broken hosts. -- I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way.
greylist.db corruption
Hi, I hope I am right to post this here. I use openSUSE 12.3 with Postfix and the basic greylist.pl policy and Spamhaus lookup. The last few months I have had problems with greylist.db corruption (both in old openSUSE 11.3 and current 12.3). If I place the Spamhaus lookup before the policy check, I seem to be safe. However, I suspect that this puts an unnecessary load on Spamhaus, so I would like to first check the greylist policy and then do the Spamhaus lookup, but this causes greylist.db corruption. Am I doing it wrong or am I receiving a new type of spam messages or transmission patterns that cause corruption? Has anybody else noticed this lately? Kind regards Niclas
