Re: greylistd and fetchmail

Hello,

I thought I'd try greylistd, but I realized that it probably won't
work for me.  If I use fetchmail to pull my mail off a POP server and
pass it to a local instance of exim4 which uses greylistd, it won't
work because the rejection goes back to me (the fetchmail machine),
right?  Or is there some way that the rejection does go back to the
originating mail server?

You're right, it won't work for you. The only time you can decline unwanted mail is when you're talking to its source. After that the best you can do is bounce it, and in the case of spam likely to some innocent third party. Like me.
