How 'bout a test function...

I seem to remember that we had to install tcpwrappers at one point  
(oh so long ago, it appears).
And there was a utility to check functionality.

---
suggested syntax changes:
  -t  - testing mode (requires -e or -d or -i)
  -e  - email address to check
  -d  - domain to check
  -i  - ip address to check
----

Say you run:
milter-greylist -t -e test@...

and the response is:
delayed

or: (note, there could be multiple entries)
not delayed from 66.163.187.78 till 2006-06-26 08:35:10
not delayed from 66.163.187.79 till 2006-06-29 12:35:10

or:
autowhitelisted



or for more beautific info...:
   Milter-greylist version: 1.84

... I guess I could just write a perl script to read the db and do  
the same thing.. but just a thought.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
