I understand now. Basically, you want to add some addresses to the graylist filter but since you don't know which addresses to use, you're trying to use the graylist filter to collect that information.
I have a different idea that will probably work better. Instead of finding a way to partially enable the graylist filter, just leave it turned off for a while. Run spamdyke so that it will log messages about incoming and outgoing email. Then, after a week or two, use the logs to discover which remote addresses are sending to your users and vice-versa. That will give better information anyway, since it will show which addresses your users are sending _to_ and how often. Those are the ones that most likely need to be added to the graylist filter. -- Sam Clippinger David Sánchez Martín wrote: > > >> David, >> >> That sounds like a neat idea, but I don't think it'd work.
