There is a Greylist plugin for SpamAssassin but I don't understand it's strategy or purpose... 1) It makes no conceptual sense to me on the surface to ask SpamAssassin to "score for greylist" when SA is not a mail "filter" but rather a classifier that lets the "real mail filter" (e.g., your MTA access controls) reject, accept, or defer the message. 2) I don't want to SA check a message that is going to be greylist deferred even when SA hasn't run yet. (most of the time) 3) Sometimes I do want to Greylist AFTER SA tells me the message is especially Spammy. (occasionally) 4) Since my method is working (and fits those criteria above) I haven't really investigated the available plugin to understand how those issues are addressed or violated. (Lack of knowledge on my part.) I would be interested to hear another point of view from those who understand the SA Greylist plugin.... -- Herb Martin
