Milter-greylist

Thanks !

In Fedora 8 just adding the line in greylist.conf file did the trick, as the
database is included in the RPM package GeoIP.

  You don't need a GeoIP account.
  The problem is that the greylist.conf file from the RPM doesn't have
  the correct path to the installed GeoIP database

  You need :

  geoipdb "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

  in your /etc/mail/greylist.conf file

  Using the provided "geoipupdate" to get a newer database will fail
  with a "Invalid UserID" message, and the correct Requires aren't in
  the GeoIP RPM to pull in the modules needed by the perl scripts
  included, so they don't work either.

  1)
  You can go to the maxmind website and download a newer copy of the
  database manually fairly easily.

  2)
  Install the modules for the perl script -

  sudo yum install perl-libwww-perl

  then

  sudo perl /usr/share/doc/GeoIP-1.4.3/fetch-geoipdata.pl
  Fetching GeoIP.dat from http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/
  database/GeoIP.dat.gz
  GeoIP database updated. Old copy is at GeoIP.dat.20080326

  or add that to your monthly cron jobs.
  The free database is updated monthly.
