As BGS says in his reply, graylisting only produces a temporary error. It works like this: External email server to your server: "I want to send you a message for xxx" Your server to external mail server "I won't accept it now. Come back later" External mailserver then *automatically* tries sending later. In the external mailserver's log, there will be a "temporary error" listed. No error message is sent to person who tried to send the message.
This is different to, for example, an email that is blocked totally: External email server to your server: "I want to send you a message for xxx" Your server to external mail server "I won't accept it ever. Go away. You are blacklisted" External mailserver to person who tried to send the message "Sorry, I could not deliver your message. It was rejected". I do not understand your question about policy-url. Does this help you? : If you set it like this: policy-url=http://www.yourdomain.com.br/somepage.html On somepage.html you could have something like "Your message was rejected and could not be delivered. This is usually due to the IP address of your mailserver being in a spam blacklist, not having correct mx records, not having rDNS etc" Of you could have LOTS of information, explaining the various errors that can occur and what they mean and where to go for help to resolve the problem. *I* have information on my page about Greylisting, but only because there is a small chance that one of my own hosting customers using non-authenticated SMTP might try to send a message, and might get an error back about graylisting. However, 99.9999999999999% of people getting a message rejection error from spamdyke, containing the policy URL, would be in a spam blacklist (sorbs/dnsbl/bogons etc in your case) or no rDNS or no MX etc etc etc. Faris. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:spamdyke-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joc > Sent: 12 March 2008 15:39 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [spamdyke-users] Graylist don't send alert for senders > > I am I tend problems to activate the graylist.
