Milter-greylist

Thanks for the info. It confirms what I found: the current milter-greylist will work for spam and virus filtering (albeit with a significant performance hit, as you mention).

The milter does not work, on the other hand, for message authentication systems such as DomainKeys and DKIM.

The reason is that the dacl can override a racl whitelist, but not a racl greylist or blacklist.

A simple conf file like

racl greylist default
dacl whitelist dkim pass

will not function as expected (allow all dkim authenticated messages, greylist all others), as will an even simpler file like

dacl whitelist dkim pass

The racl will greylist by default, and a dacl whitelist will not override a racl greylist (if it sounds confusing, that's because it is; it took me couple of hours sorting through the source to figure this out)

Is there anyone that can prove me wrong and has a working DKIM/DK setup with milter-greylist?

Thanks,
Rudy.
