I've encountered this problem... but with only one domain. Recently I set up milter on a moderately busy server, and customers are complaining about the following: On certain clients: k-mail (linux) Outlook 5.0.1 (Mac OS9) Thunderbird 1.0.7 pine Sender immediately receives an error in the form pop-up from their SMTP server, which says: (this differs from client to client) "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come back in 00:08:00. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preference and try again" or a bounce message as shown below: > Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender > Date: Thursday 01 December 2005 04:21 pm > From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer- > Daemon@...> > To: eric@... > > This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. > > A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its > recipients.
