"mail from: <>" handling

"mail from: <>" handling

2004-12-06 by Tony Johansson

I have one domain that gets enormous amounts of "undeliverable mail" 
notification messages due to joe jobs (see http://members.cox.net/joejob/)

Does milter-greylist handle null reverse-path messages like "normal" 
email? It seems, to me atleast, like a waste to store these in the 
database. They should of course be subject to the initial greylist 
period but why whitelist them?

Regards, Tony

Hmmm... it's true I don't see any trouble with not whitelisting <>.
Anyone has an opinion on this?

FWIW: As a user, I agree with the waste of storage & shouldn't be
whitelisted....
