Looks like both work the same way, as they don't use the triplet.

Sounds good, PVA. Would you care to contribute a writeup on the wiki for
this? It'd make a nice entry under "Tips&Tricks". Don't worry too much about
making it pretty. Someone will probably come along later and clean things up. ;)

Just an update on the greylisting.

I am using jgreylist from http://qmail.jms1.net/scripts/jgreylist.shtml.

It works wonders. Usually I get 70 spam a day. Now I get 5 spam a day.

You are right about some servers not following the standard. I will keep 
using this until there is some major complaint.


So far I have been using greylisting for about a month.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

Hello PV

Very basic greylisting available here:
http://www.kabewm.com/?p=19

I recommend against  greylisting in general as many spam appliances
and firewalls that people use as proxies for their Exchange server (or
other servers) do not handle error 4xx as temporary errors. Instead
they kick back an error to the user and reject all mail from those
sites. Sure they are not following the standard, but you're the one
that's going to hear about it and deal with troubleshooting sites with
little/no information.

Thanks,
Erik

Hi,

I am thinking about trying out greylist for the qmailtoaster currently
running on our server. I heard great reports from my friend who is using
it on sendmail.

Is there any patch that I could use and just compile only the smtp? Is
that even possible? Or do I have to recompile everything?

Then run the smtp-grey on another ip so that it can be tested on a
domain to see if it works. I know I will have to add a MX record for the
testing domain.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
