AutoWhitelist the sender's IP only

2005-11-08 by Raul Dias

Hi,

I am dont know if this have being discussed before.

Why not autowhitelist the server IP address only?

If a tuple gets autowhitelisted, it is because the senders is using a
real smtp (and there is nothing greylist can do about it) or a clever
spam tool.

After one AWL tuple from this server, we can assume that every message
will be AWLed sooner or later.

So, why not use only the senders smtpd IP address for AWL?
This would speedup all messages that would have to be AWL later on
anyway (evem spam), and save the servers memory.

Am I missing something?
