Well what I meant originally was that even though "I" might have sent an e-mail which has been added to the greylist before, one of "my" subsequent e-mails might also be delayed because a different server got picked to transfer the new e-mail.
In other words, the server ip address stays the same for a given e-mail message instance, but not for a given e-mail user instance. No big deal. I suppose that even if you don't whitelist the server ip addresses of the big guys like gmail and yahoo, it's just as likely for a new user to get his message through right away because the particular server has already been used to deliver a message from another user. For anyone who is sending their own e-mail directly from a machine with a dynamic ip address rather than smarthosting or the equivalent through their isp's mail server I suppose other interesting effects could occur. Such folks are likely to run into measures in the future which will make them much more serious casualties of the "spam wars." -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
