Problem with particular domains

2016-02-26 by Eugeniusz Nowacki

Hello All,

This is my first message, so please be indulgent :)

I use postfix together with milter-greylist-4.5.12 
compiler:/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/milter-greylist-4.5.12 Thu May 21 
15:10:41 EDT 2015. I experience problem with greylisting regarding 
particular domains, for example: komputronik-biznes.pl.  I didn't notice 
problem like this one time, this is an exmple of similar events only.

I found in the log of my SMTP serwer the following line:

Feb 19 14:50:21 mx01 logger: milter-greylist: MILTERSTAT: 2016.02.19 
14:50:21 mx-01.ktr.pl [195.138.211.150] xxx.yyy@... -> 
aaa.bbb@... tempfail (ACL 311) 451 4.7.1 SPFINFO: SPF:e  
Greylisting in action, please come back later:  host mx-01.ktr.pl 
[195.138.211.150]  domain 'komputronik-biznes.pl'

During manual query SPF of komputronik-biznes.pl domain, the answers are 
as follow:

First DNS query:
- dig +short komputronik-biznes.pl txt
- Result: "v=spf1 include:ktb-spf.ktr.pl include:spf.ktr.pl -all"

The second  DNS query:
   -- dig +short spf.ktr.pl txt
   -- Result: "v=spf1 a mx ip4:195.138.211.0/24 ip4:91.198.150.0/24"

Then, the list of networks contains 195.138.211.0/24, then IP of the 
sender 195.138.211.150 is on the list, but milter-greylist delayed this 
mail.

Why milter-greylist behaves this way?

P.S.
Below, is my config file and log queries of two DNS servers made by 
email server.

Thanks for your help,
Gienek
