Re: Graylisting failing in some cases

You are, of course correct.
I have looked up my access file, but it is OK, here it is :
Connect:localhost.localdomain           RELAY
Connect:localhost                       RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1                       RELAY
10                                      RELAY
So as far as I can see, the problem is not here...
