Dale, I use 7 minutes as I found 60 mins was toooooo long, and that it works just as well with 7 mins. You could try less if you wanted.
Software without development just means no new features not unsupported/dead. There are some 'enhancements' that I'd like to propose for Davide's implementation of the GreyList function (glst). Things like using outgoing mail to/from addresses to somehow validate incoming mail that uses the same addresses as from/to. And, once a triplet has been accepted, that there be a relaxing of the rules to a [EMAIL PROTECTED] from that IP. That is it realises that a certain MTA (IP address) is trustable for a given domain. This would only be done after, say 5 emails from that domain/IP, passed the normal rules. I've implemented glst/xmail in-front of a couple of companies MTAs and reduced the spam significantly, but am getting flak over the delay/lost mail. I've explained to them that it is an education issue (by the user and by glst). Urgent emails can be resent after the 7 minute --timeo, and the mail will get through - they will also get the first email eventually - depending of the sending MTA's retry schedule. What I am finding also is that there are a large number of broken MTA/mail-setups out there that just don't retry.!!! This is where the lost mail comes from.

My experience with XMail over the years is that Davide understands mail much better than I do. Indeed much of my understanding today is based on working out why XMail works so well. I used to be a 150 a day man (SPAM, that it), but it's down to a couple a week. I had to add my network as an xnet, and some mnets to allow gmail etc. to reach me, and I guess there could be some better defaults there, or at least a recommendation (maybe there is, but I didn't find it). With the mnets, either you go looking for big virtual servers, or wait until something you are expecting doesn't show up ;-( Good luck with it, R. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
