I have configured spamd with greylisting on our OpenBSD Firewall and it
works very well, spam went close to zero :-). There is one issue though
that can cause long delay of mails:
If a mail is sent via a server pool, it can take quite long until it
happens to be sent 3 times from the same ip address and thus get
whitelisted and delivered. With a big server pool this can take hours.
Would it be possible to change this behaviour so that the whitelisting
is done as soon as the same sender/receiver pair is seen again,
ignoring the ip address? This could speed up things a bit.
You can read the man page and see how to decrease the spamd timer; however,
you will not be able to change every mailserver on the Internet.
How can timer settings help, if a server pool makes 5 delivery attempts
within 2 hours using 5 different ip-addresses? It won't get white, no
matter what the timers are.
