I looked for a postgrey list to ask this, but the one that I found does not
seem to have any archives after 2019 so I came here instead. If there is
somewhere else to ask this please let me know.
We use postfix with postgrey. We have a whitelist
/usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local
According to the man page:
Whitelists
Whitelists allow you to specify client addresses or recipient address,
for which no greylisting should be done. Per default postgrey will read
the following files:
/usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients
/usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local
/usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_recipients
In /usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local we have dhs.gov:
[root@mx31 ~]# grep dhs.gov
/usr/local/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local
dhs.gov
The problem is that postgrey grey-listed this email:
Nov 26 13:43:36 mx31 postgrey[27438]: action=greylist, reason=new,
client_name=mx0f-00376703.gpphosted.com, client_address=67.231.155.98,
[email protected], recipient=<[email protected]>
After a delay the send/receive pair was auto whitelisted. However, I was given
to understand that domain entries in the whitelist also applied to subdomains.
Also from the postgrey man page:
The following can be specified for client addresses:
domain.addr
"domain.addr" domain and subdomains.
Why was email from dhs.gov grey-listed? Have I misconfigured something?
