I have a question about greylisting.
Does greylisting **always** involve blocking upon receipt of the SMTP envelope and not accepting the rest of the message?
Or, can greylisting alternatively work where it **does** accept the **entire** message (for auditing purposes, for example) and THEN returns the temporary rejection code?
Thanks,

Rob,
That depends on how you implement it. Certainly if you're running Sendmail, a tool like MIMEDefang would allow you to implement greylisting in any manner you saw fit for your installation.
however, temporarily rejecting the message after fully receiving it and processing it kind of defeats the purpose of greylisting. (or at least one major purpose of it)
