well `tombo` asked for histograms ?

[gelgin@mail5 ~]$ ./hist.pl

      <zero>  -10 /

these are my `hits` on ACL lineno (courtesy Text::BarGraph)
here are the ACLs it corresponds to ...

51: acl whitelist list "my network"
86: acl greylist dnsrbl "SCORE" delay 2h
87: acl greylist dnsrbl "MCFADDEN" delay 2h
91: acl greylist dnsrbl "DYNABLOCK" delay 4h
93: acl greylist dnsrbl "DNSBLNJABL" delay 4h
123: acl greylist dnsrbl "SORBS-SPAM" delay 1h
126: acl greylist dnsrbl "SORBS-WEB" delay 1h
178: acl greylist dnsrbl "NOMOREFUN" delay 2h
181: acl greylist dnsrbl "unconfirmed" delay 2h
184: acl greylist sm_macro "maybe_forged" delay 8h

51 is actually decieving. as i discussed (outside group) i use
spamassassin as the backend to greylist. that milter forwards spam
(i use 4.2 cutoff VERY agressive) to a local /dev/null mail drop
which show up as most 51's (a good thing actually)

you say "timeout 23h" too tight ? i agree, but note that even
Yahoo!Mail doesn't honor the traditional 5 dys of retries anymore (
i think 24 hrs and `thats all folks` ) ReturnToSender full stop.
if they get a bounce and are too lazy to resend probably not
something worth reading anyway -;

i would encourage folks to continue along the original thread and
`discover` in an analytic way to the magic autowhite time.
