Parsing the 'from' address
2006-03-16 by Daniel Zachary
See these entries from our mail log:
Mar 16 16:00:26 ma1 milter-greylist: k2GL0LEe028657: addr 65.244.48.145 from =sil.org@...> to delayed for 00:01:00
Mar 16 16:02:04 ma1 sendmail[28657]: k2GL0LEe028657: from=<jump-cbsnews_weekday_evening_text-xxx=sil.org@...>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=web145.bc.cbsig.net [65.244.48.145] (may be forged)
Mar 16 16:34:01 ma1 milter-greylist: (mxsync): addr 65.244.48.145 from =sil.org@...> rcpt : autowhitelisted for 792:00:00
The maillog shows that the message was from jump-cbsnews_weekday_evening_text-xxx=sil.org@...
But the greylist logs show that it was from =sil.org@...
This probably does not totally invalidate milter-greylist, but does cause it to not accurately track the 'from' names.
