I have received little response from the author on this list, although I greatly appreciate the quality of his code. I suppose the French and Americans think "Vous est merde", although I suspect we really appreciate each other more than that (I hope). Anyway, I will continue to offer ideas, however poorly they might be received... milter-greylist can offer invaluable data regarding what the "magic" number of delay minutes is before purging a greylist entry. By recording the time when an entry enters the the greylist, latest time it was accessed, versus those entries that were auto-whitelisted; a histogram might be constructed to optimize the greylist timeout period. I would assume this would offend no one, and would give each user an insight into how long it takes to get spam-bot's to give up versus the annoying delay joining new BBS's, etc. Comments (and flames) are welcomed.
