Can someone explain how the spammer at 81.7.16.33 got white listed by spamd and delivered 3 spam emails to me? What exactly triggered the white listing?

I may not understand spamd's behavior, but according to the spamd log below, the spammer attempted only 5 deliveries via spamd, each with a different envelope-from address. Correct?

At 17:12 there is a 6th connection. Presumably this is a re-try of one of
the existing grey entries.

With -v you would have seen something like:
Feb  3 17:12:29 zeus spamd[34374]: (GREY) 81.7.16.33:
<[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>

/B



If so, shouldn't white listing be considered only if, during passtime, the retries from a GREY host contain the same envelope-from and envelope-to? Legitimate mail would be resent with the same envelope-from/-to, but spammers (this one in particular) often do not. Ensuring consistent envelope addresses may be a way to stop more spam. No?


# passtime set short as I'm currently experimenting
$ rcctl get spamd | grep flags
spamd_flags=-G 1:10:1080

$ fgrep 81.7.16.33 /var/log/spamd
