  spamd used to reaper any outstanding GREYs when an IP ascended
  to WHITE status, but this behaviour changed somewhere near the
  time the sync protocol showed up.

  the detrement is that the db file might be a bit bigger, the
  benefit is that you get to still have access to that GREY data
  to see what various hosts are up to.

  while running spamd(8) on a host that took a very high volume
  of email, after about a week i was seeing around 30 WHITE
  entries and about 25 GREYs, so leaving the old data around
  and letting it expire out naturally is not nearly as big of a capacity
  issue as i had first thought.

spamdb: convert greylisted addresses to whitelisted servers?

2007-04-05 Thread John N. Brahy
I've been looking at the source and I've read the man page but I don't
see a way to convert a greylisted entry to a whitelisted entry.

Is it possible or just unnecessary?

# spamdb -a 12.34.56.78
# spamdb | grep 12.34.56.78
WHITE|12.34.56.78|||1175817375|1175819030|1178929430|1|2
GREY|12.34.56.78|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|1175815019|1175829419|

Unnecessary. The WHITE entry wins when a lookup of 12.34.56.78 is done
in the database.

corner.  He's expected to levitate his client out of that corner.
