Yeah, but the original greylist whitepaper recommends against whitelisting email addresses or domains, as they're easily forged. I'm also not fond of adding the complexity of allowing for module-specific whitelists. People will do it anyway, so I integrated his extra scripts rather than tear that feature out. I actually rather like the idea of an auto-whitelist that operates on sender/recipient pairs. I'll probably write one up. > How to get the recipient addresses of mails sent by autheticated users > into this _whitelistMailAddresses ? As it is, currently, you wouldn't. Modules can't safely modify each others' DBM files. If you wanted to go down that path, you'd want to add functions to the greylist module that added the addresses, and then import "greylist" from the auto-whitelist module. It wouldn't be terrible, but I think a generic auto-whitelist could operate on its own, and wouldn't need those changes. > The greylist module will usually work after whitelist_auth to affect > all senders, that are not authenticated, so if I want to catch the > recipients authenticated senders want to send to, whitelist_auth would > be the last possibilty to do that. You'd want the auto-whitelist to come before whitelist_auth, so that whitelist_auth doesn't prevent the auto-whitelist from operating. > *sigh* - I do not speak python so I can not see other implications and > problems that could come up here... what do you say? I say... I'll try to put out an auto-whitelist module tomorrow or the next day, and start documentation for use scenarios after that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
