Hi all, I'm looking for suggestion to get pop-before-smtp (actually imaps-before-smtp) and greylisting to play nicely together.
The pop-before-smtp implementation I'm using is from http://popbsmtp.sourceforge.net/. It creates a popauth.db {Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order)} file that holds the ip addresses of imap clients that have successfully authenticated and allows them to relay mail through our mail server (sendmail 8.13.1). However this conflicts with greylisting . I'm using the file system type greylist that creates /var/spool/MIMEDefang/greylistdb {Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order)} file. The problem is the greylisting function doesn't know about and/or doesn't exempt the newly authenticated imap clients and when they try to send a message they get the '4.3.0 message to try again in 1min'. The greylist implementation I'm using contains the my %exempt_subnets hash of ip addresses exempt from the greylist check. Ideally I would like to find a way for the greylisting feature to also check the list if IP addresses in the popauth.db file and exempt them from checks. pop-before-smtp has a --list function that returns a list of IP addresses that have successfully authenticated. Unfortunately I am not a perl programmer nor do I play one on TV so I'm not sure how to go about coming up with a solution to this problem and I don't want to get rid of greylisting because it catches SOO much of our spam.
