Defeating my own greylisting

Defeating my own greylisting

2005-10-11 by Alan Clifford

The intention is to tap an email into my Palm, perhaps add a photo from my 
camera (via the sd card - modern day sneakernet) and then, when I get to 
my hotel, connect to the internet with my old Psion infrared modem via one 
of the apparent China Telecom dialup numbers.  I have not yet found any 
server information to go with the dial up numbers.  But no matter, I've 
set up imap before smtp on my pc at home.

I've been testing this using an isp dialup and you are all probably way 
ahead of me by now.  I hit my greylisting and the next time I dial up, I'm 
allocated a different ip number.

So, is there anything like "imap before greylist whitelisting"  I could 
use?

Optimal solution would be, if you can enable SMTP-Auth on your mailserver,
then milter-greylist will bypass you, as soon as you are authenticated...

Cheers,

I was avoiding that because it looked too complicated.  But I had a go 
tonight and it is all working. I would have replied from my Palm but I 
can't work out how to add imap folders on the Palm to match my folders on 
the server, so I'm limited to the inbox at the moment.
