Feature concept

2009-09-11 by Paul Venezia

I've been using milter-greylist for awhile now in several different  
mail relays, and I'd like to propose an idea for consideration: a CLI  
object injector.

I'd love to be able to add list entries on the fly, without having to  
edit the configuration file. Something like pfctl, whereby I could run  
'mgctl -l bldomains -t add somedomain.com' or similar. These entries  
may not have state in the config file, but could be dumped out to the  
greylist.db and picked up again on restart. Naturally, there would  
have to be a remove function and a list function. This would go a long  
way towards implementation of some of the features I wrote into  
relaydelay a long time ago, specifically code that would automatically  
blacklist domains and relays that exceeded a certain threshold of  
dictionary spam attempts, among a bevy of other red flags. It would  
also allow for a simple Web interface to list, add, and remove list  
entries. It's somewhat possible to do this now by automating an edit  
of the configuration file, but a simple control app would be far, far  
simpler.

Also, this could possibly be accompanied by adding support for file  
include in the configuration file.

Thoughts?
