I do not use it anymore as I was finding I needed to pay attention to the logs a lot more than I wanted to to try and account for idiot mail servers, however, I was running it in 2005-2009, and it's possible it's more effective now than it was and that fewer companies do stupid things like: whitelist: # greylisting.org: Amazon.com (unique sender with letters) amazon.com # 2004-05-20: Linux kernel mailing-list (unique sender with letters) vger.kernel.org # 2004-06-02: karger.ch, no retry karger.ch # 2004-06-02: lilys.ch, (slow: 4 hours) server-x001.hostpoint.ch # 2004-06-09: roche.com (no retry) gw.bas.roche.com # 2004-06-09: newsletter (no retry) mail.hhlaw.com # 2004-06-09: no retry (reported by Ralph Hildebrandt) prd051.appliedbiosystems.com # 2004-06-17: swissre.com (no retry) swissre.com # 2004-06-17: dowjones.com newsletter (unique sender with letters) returns.dowjones.com I would look at enabling postscreen (a module of postfix) instead, as it can do what postgrey does, and more. I haven't run it myself because I am constrained on updating my postfix build. The docs: <http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html> Here's a post on setting up postscreen. <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.postfix.user/218114> -- I never read much; I have something else to do. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
