Re: [milter-greylist] Is it Comcast or is it me?

2019-02-13 by John_Damm_S=c3=b8rensen

Comcast is probably using many different mail servers to resend messages 
so my question is have you configured subnetmatch?

 From man page:

/subnetmatch/
    This is equivalent to the *-L* command line option. It takes a slash
    followed by a CIDR mask as argument, and it commands the subnet
    matching feature. Example, for a class C wide matching:
subnetmatch /24
/subnetmatch6/
    This is equivalent to the *-M* command line option. It takes a slash
    followed by a prefixlen as argument, and it commands the subnet
    matching feature. Example, for a subnet wide matching:
subnetmatch6 /64

Best

John
