[qmailtoaster] greylisting warning

2007-01-23 Thread Erik Espinoza

Hey Guys,

I ran into a problem while testing a greylisting patch from Bill
Shupp's site. Many of the new antispam appliances and certain
firewalals are used as a smart host, so it looks as follows:

Exchange - antispam appliance - QmailToaster

Many of the antispam appliances are having issues with temporary 4xx
errors, they will not retry later as per the standard. I've run into
this a few times, and it's always tough to diagnose. Just thought I'd
put out a notice that if you use greylisting, you may lose valid mail
because of this.

Buyer Beware

Erik

I'm becoming less and less excited about greylisting as time goes by. Still
haven't tried it myself. My present toaster configuration is doing pretty
well without it.
