Re: [milter-greylist] Easier way to build whitelists?

2009-02-04 by Bill Levering

JMHO, but I enabled spf about 2 months ago, and it appears that a much  
higher percentage of spammers are using SPF now.

Yes, it alleviates the delay for valid email.. and spam.

As noted previously on this list, greylisting should not be the only  
spam check.
