This one time, at band camp, Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder said: > (And - this to Stephen Frost, I believe - there is a patch to postgrey which > I will include in the next version, and I believe which will also be > included in the next upstream, to whitelist a client IP as soon as one > greylisted email came through.

I use a different implementation of greylisting alltogether, so it doesn't really concern me too much, but it seems like a good idea. The reason for the request being that while it is quite possible for a zombie machine to accidentally resend the same mail from/rcpt to combination by accident on a second spam run, the odds of it sending 10 or 15 (or some number, depending on your circumstances, I guess) are vanishingly small. Only a mechanism with a real queue runner would get more than a few successes, and those are the ones that should be whitelisted. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
