you could test for the presence of the binary in your acl's, but that adds yet another stat() to the setup. I'm not sure how much that matters, though. > There is also the issue of adding two stat() calls for every forked > daemon. All things considered, that's a reasonably low overhead. Can this not also be wrapped in an .ifdef to make it lower overhead? Add a debconf question, priority low, that asks if the admin wants to enable greylisting. Write a file that just contains GREYLISTD = yes on remove, rewrite the file (ucf handling or something would be nice) to comment it. Then the later calls could be wrapped like: .ifdef GREYLISTD .include_if_exists /path/to/acl_snippet .endif It's messy, but this is a general problem I have some interest in solving. There are many add on packages that should be able to be drop in and work with the MTAs in Debian, but we can't just munge other package's config files, so I am trying to work towards a reasonably clean solution to the general problem.
