Re: [milter-greylist] Why autowhite isn't distributed over all MX?

2018-06-07 by John_Damm_S=c3=b8rensen

Further testing seems to be realted to the fact that the date aw times 
sent to the peers are equal. This apparently tricks the peer to delete 
the entry.

I tried to del2 an existing entry in teh db but with different data and 
aw times, and this time the AUTO whitelist was added to the db.

Would somebody please investigate why the time for date and aw is used?

Best

John
