Milter-greylist

Hi,

Just having read the greylist whitepaper at
http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/whitepaper.html and was
excited, so I searched the correct implementation for me and it seemd
thet milter-greylist was it.

I have a question and a few comments.

1. the question:

The whitepaper describes a need for delaying the tempfail message until
the end of the DATA phase if the sender address is null. It appears to
me that milter-greylist does not do that. Giving a increasing number of
servers doing a "callback" to verify the sender address, doesn't this
delay sending mail in an unneccessary way?

2. The implementation seems to be well done. Thanks for the package.

3. On debian woody, which is what we use, you have to do the following
in order for milter-greylist to build:

  apt-get install libmilter-dev
  ln -s . /usr/lib/libmilter/lib
  ./configure --with-libmilter=/usr/lib/libmilter

This has been reported before on this list. Maybe the information could
be included in the README file.

4. The whitepaper also suggests a record expire time of 36 days. Which
expirery times do folks use? The defaults configuration file has three
days only. Probably this is due to the fear of too much memory consumption?

5. The mailing list robot somehow sucks... The archive is not very well
searchable. And I still don't want to "Complete my Yahoo! Groups
account" "by connecting my email address to Yahoo account". So please
excuse me if my posting is partly redundant.

Greetings,
Moritz
