Yes, everyone is correct that I called a challenge-response incorrectly as greylisting. Sorry about that. Greylisting on CG Pro however is implemented a little differently... I can adjust the initial SMTP response time so it isn't specific to a user but accomplishes the same thing. Regardle

SPF wouldn't add you to a blacklist since it operates realtime (at the SMTP level). But just because you log in to your home ISP doesn't mean you can't send mail through your work ISP if you have SMTP authentication of course. In that instance you'll know immediately that your SMTP fails and th

I don't think it would make any difference if the spammer listed any other servers in HIS DNS SPF records. Your server won't look at his DNS for yahoo's SPF records. That's what SPF is all about. It gives the owner of the domain name exclusive ability to say who is and is not a valid sender for
