Re: [milter-greylist] Anybody having trouble with Google mail spam?

Thanks, I'll be diligent about notifying abuse and adding an SA rule. 

My users can get pretty uppity when messages are blocked, especially if 
they're entirely not work related, as GMail usually is.  A bit off 
topic, but it's fascinating how trust works.  My biggest spammers are 
now turning out to be Google and AOL users.  I would normally 
immediately blacklist spammer ips, but since they're big, I can't.  If 
someone's big, you're forced to trust them and accept their malice.
