I hope to use this to cut down on spam and phishing attempts, because I could identify legitimate mail by virtue of having the correct sender address (or at least domain) and recipient. That is, mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is very likely mail from my bank, but mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to that same address is not. Likewise, mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is invalid. Won't greylisting fulfill most of the requirements here?
No. greylisting will not block mail from real MTAs that retry, unless they have been block listed in the meantime.
