Milter-greylist

Howdy -

I am running milter-greylist-1.4-0 on a Fedora Core 2 box, Intel
architecture.

I have the following entries in /etc/mail/greylist.conf:

from /.*@myworkdomain\.com/
from thomas.cameron@...

But whenever anything comes in from my work's e-mail domain, it still
gets greylisted.  I have restarted milter-greylist and sendmail both.

What am I doing wrong?

Thomas

I don't see a reason why. But can't you whitelist the address bloc of
your work instead of the sender addresses? The former is much harder to
forge.

You don't need to. milter-greylist automatically reload the config file
when needed.

I think I can - I was just being lazy.  :-S

Wow - that is smart.  I'm impressed!

Merci Emmanuel!
