Package: sa-exim
Version: 4.2-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm
Tags: patch
Greylisting works poorly on mailing lists that use VERP (e.g. almost all
of them), domains that use ABBS, SES or BATV to reduce bounce blow-back
caused by spam, or email forwarders that use SRS to help with SPF. All
of these systems create unique local-parts on the 2821.MAILFROM
(envfrom) for each email sent. Including the local-part in the
greylisting causes each email from mailing lists and such to be
greylisted.
