Grelisting without MySQL (was Re: [Mimedefang] ReplacingSpamAssassin with DSPAM)

[Paul Murphy]

Jonas,

I had a similar problem - I hade the debug level set to 10, greylisting enabled,
and the DB file exists, is writable, and has been updated to have a size of 4096
bytes, but has no apparent entries either from "od -c" or from a modified
version of the database cleaner utility (had to remove O_EXLOCK to get it to
work, as the Debian package doesn't have it), which prints the key and record
count as it scans the file.  There's also no count from your graphing package.

I also get no indication in any of my system logs that greylisting is occurring.

The solution was simple once I had found it - the top of the "filter_recipient"
subroutine clearly says "#  Requires -t", which means that you have to either
pass the "-t" parameter on the command line, or in the multiplexor
configuration, enable the recipient check - by default it is disabled.

Now that this has been changed and the multiplexor and filters shutdown and
restarted, it all works as expected.

Best Wishes,

Paul.
