Hello Group,
Apologies if the following questions have already been answered but my
searches of the archive were unsuccessful.
I am running milter-greylist 1.6 in a test mode (-T) with sendmail
8.13.0 where sendmail.mc includes:
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', `j, {if_addr}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM', `i, {auth_authen}')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist',`S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock')
Question 1. Username match
--------------------------
/etc/mail/greylist.conf includes:
rcpt anna@...
rcpt asia@...
greylisting seems to apply not only to the addresses:
anna@...
asia@...
but also to addresses where the username contains anna or asia, eg:
hanna@...
kasia@...
The latter are not listed in /etc/mail/greylist.conf.
Is it a bug in milter-greylist or something I've misunderstood?
Question 2. Broken MTAs
-----------------------
The default greylist.conf included in the tarball contains a list of
broken MTAs, some Yahoo groups servers included but not all. My
attempt at joining this list resulted in greylisting of 66.94.237.28
from which a reply to my joining message came and was tempfailed. No
attempt to repeat its delivery was ever made.
Then, I noticed other Yahoo groups servers from 66.94.237.* network
sending messages to addresses in our domain, tampfailed as well.
That has prompted me to append the following line to greylist.conf:
addr 66.94.237.0/24
Are there any other broken MTAs this group knows of?
Is there any place where a current list of broken MTAs is maintained?
Question 3. timeout
-------------------
The following item in greylist.conf is not quite clear to me:
# How long will the greylist database retain tuples
#timeout=5d
Does it concern any tuple, or greylisted, or whitelisted? If:
autowhite=5d
timeout=3d
does a whitedlisted tuple remain in the data base for 5 days?
Thanks,
--
