[Mimedefang] action_tempfail question -- greylist at filter_begin

[Xiaoyan Ma]

Thanks again. Although I have not found a solution yet, I have learned more 
about MD with everyone's help.

Jonas E. posted his fix below a few days ago:

I moved the greylist check to filter_begin, an idea I think David has 
mentioned here some time ago. I can be nice to those running mailers with 
the above problem, but if someone's running a mailer that can't handle a 
tempfail after DATA they really, really have to do something about it.

BTW: When checking in filter_begin, I check all recipients before deciding 
on wether to tenpfail or not. This is inportant, as the mail could be 
delayed for a long time if not all recipients are entered into the 
greylist. After checking all recipients, I tempfail unless all of them are 
white.

 From what I understand this will tempfail all recipients when there is 1 
(out of 200) not in white status.  Anyone one has a different approach ?
