WOW!!! This is about all I can say. I can't believe more people are
not talking about greylisting and trying to include this in their
installations. I have looked at Jonas' greylisting implementation but I
could not get around the O_EXLOCK flag, YET! Wish I was a little better
on the database side. =:( I am using the basic code provided by David
and will start looking into adding features in a couple of weeks.
Here are some quick stats...
First 24 hours of greylisting:
15120 Tempfailed messages
480 Delivered, grepped on stat=Sent and excluded spam messages
352 Relabeled as spam (grepped for '***SPAM***') by SA 2.61
1558 Blocked by Spamhaus (only BL I trust) with Sendmail
2390 Messages that were resent by remote MTAs
1910 Messages labeled/blocked because they met our spam criteria
12730 Messages that did not resend, hmmm... maybe SPAM!!
Also, should I be worried about any pitfalls of the basic implementation
by David. I read the "official" greylisting site and figured I would
only be delaying any messages, not blocking them.
David, thank for developing/supporting a truly great product. I hope
you are doing well with your company as you deserve the bling bling.
