I may not understand the greylisting concept fully. I thought that the idea was to short circuit receipt of the entire message until the second attempt. How do you get a spam score from SA prior to receiving the message? Once you accept the message so it can be scanned by SA the conversation with the remote smtp server is finished. So the spam gets through that line of defense. Or are you greylisting sites after the first spam message is received and processed? I guess that would work. -- Scot L.
