I use amavis and some time ago I talked with you about a patch for virtual users in amavis ! but I missed that ! good point ! The idea works like greylists but greylist just whitelists when a sender-IP-recipient hits more than a threshold. Greylists do great job stoping robots but there are spammers with well configured MTAs who tries and tries and tries and bypass greylists. For that situation this solution can aid greylists in the way that conversations also need to be replied in order to get whitelisted Cheers
