First, thank you for the very useful piece of software!
But what I didn't like was, that also in the whitelist the triplets are
used. Greylisting basically just checks, if a delivering host is a regular
MTA, and not a spam-machine. Therefore you need also the senders and
recipients mail address in the greylist, in order to recognize the mail,
when it comes in again. But if a hosts has proven to be a regular MTA, it
makes IMHO no sense, to keep the address information and check for it in
future mails, as anyway every mail from that host will get redelivered and
pass the greylisting (if you think of hotmail.com or other huge sites). On
the other hand, there are a lot of newsletters and mailinglists, which
change the sender address for every mail, and therefore are always
unnecessarily delayed, as we know already, that the mail will pass.
So I wrote a patch. It introduces two new config options, to enable the
desired behaviour, that only hosts are moved into the whitelist and also
only the host part of the tiplets is checked against the whitelist:
------------------------------------------
# Whether check/update also checks for an whitelist entry, which only
# contains the first word of the triplet, that is the IP address usually.
# If set to true, you can also insert general IP addresses/networks into the
# whitelist, without email addresses.
singlecheck = true
# Whether update only inserts the first word of the triplet into the
# whitelist, that is the IP address usually. Meant to be used in
# conjunction with singlecheck = true.
singleupdate = true
------------------------------------------
In the attached archive there is a short INSTALL instruction, also with
short shell lines to convert an existing whitelist to the host-only mode,
and the patched greylistd and the diff itself, based on version 0.8.3.1.
Cheers,
Sven
