Pete I agree with you. Graylisting or greylisting would be a great add on to Declude. I've hoped for this in an MTA, but it doesn't look like CPHZ will go that way, and since Ipswitch only adopts antispam measures that Declude already has heh, it won't be coming from them. SmarterMail may well

I agree, the mechanics are simple. The difficulties lie in gathering the information in the database and gauging how long to wait before re-testing, and how to get fresh results. For example, DNS cacheing will mean that you get the same results from your IP4R tests if you do them only a short
