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....
