[Greylist-users] Relaydelay on main mail server?

[Dennis Wynne]

Thanks for the reply.

I was aware I could whitelist the local IPs, but I was thinking I must have 
some setting messed up since it would seem to be better if the script never 
had to fool with outbound traffic from the local PC or the subnet at all.

On my box e-mail that I send from the local box (using pine as root, for 
example) will go out via SMTP to the real server and it never hits the 
database that I can see. So I assumed I have something configured wrong in 
either sendmail or relaydelay that would cause it to even LOOK in the SQL 
database when it should be skipping that step - I thought.

Dennis
