Right, but some spammers will be passing the greylist. > After graylisting been enabled, It won't block addresses already on the > database AND that its time is lesser than graylist-max-secs.

If the maximum age is 2 weeks and the sender sends a message every day, their entry will never expire because it is continually reset. Given that your primary objective seems to be to eliminate any delays from existing emailers, I suppose this would work for you. Spammers who hit sporadically will eventually expire. I just intend to point out that persistent spammers who send more often than graylist-max-secs will continue to pass. Again, this might be livable. I've no idea how persistent spam generally is. -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
