David, That sounds like a neat idea, but I don't think it'd work. If you simply allow the session to complete and create a greylist entry for everything, you will have effectively whitelisted every incoming message, including the bad ones. Greylisting works because some spammers don't retry when a session fails. If everything passes, you've no way of knowing which ones would or would not have retried. The greylist database would be useless. -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
