I may be just totally lost on this, but, it seems like you could, at least for those with VPOPMAIL integrated with MySQL or any other DB, run something that queries an existing "Greylisted" filename against the VPOPMAIL database, and delete those that get 0 records returned...It could run every couple hours or whatever. I would agree that greylisting knocks off a bunch of my inbound spam as well. It's also kind of entertaining to see the randomly generated garbage they try to send to. :-)

Colvin NorCal Internet Services <http://www.norcalisp.com/> www.norcalisp.com <http://www.norcalisp.com/> _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Liles Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 2:40 PM To: spamdyke users Subject: [spamdyke-users] Contributed Scripts Harald Hinz offered a script for blacklisting in December. Others have also talked about offering scripts. I am thinking of putting some time into a script, I have two questions for the community: 1. Spamdyke Community Script Library Sam is obviously under considerable pressure to develop the main code line, how about we create a SourceForge project to facilitate scripts from a variety of people on a variety of topics? 2. Graylisting Cleanup Script My own idea is not new and is one that people have asked for. I need to know if there is interest for it and, from Sam, if you are otherwise going to handle this in the core product. I use Graylisting and find it knocks out 90%+ of all spam. My concern is the runaway growth of the "database" that underpins this. (The matter is mentioned here: http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/FAQ.html#SUGGESTION5 and is a recurrent theme on this list.) My contribution would be for a simple approach removes Graylist entries for recipients that are known to be bogus. I propose a solution that is tuned for a Vpopmail installation; I propose only dealing with domains that have simple "qmail-default" rules like "delete" and "bounce" and not dealing with complex cases with downstream recipient filters, e.g. domains operating Mailman. Would others like this? My programming skills are in languages like Java, but I imagine that the likely re-use of my script would want it in a generic Unix shell or perhaps Perl implementation, am I right? Andrew.
