Hi,<br>
<br>
I've recently started using greylisting and whilst am obviously very
impressed with the amount of spam that is caught i am starting to see
some problems that i thought the list will likely have already
encountered.<br>
<br>
I was surprised to find hotmail sending notification failures to
senders without any attempt at a retry. This doesn;t seem to be the
case across all hotmail email, but i've definately seen it in my tests.
This obv falls into the category of bad mta's but is there a list
maintained of major providers who won't behave?<br>
<br>
I'm also discovering some of the larger mail server farms out there
have a scary amount of distinct mail servers with which to resend
mail. I've started to whitelist them (both by IP and laterly via cidr
notation) but even then i only see the subset of their network that
appears in my logs. <br>
<br>
The graylist implementation (graymilter) i'm using is only ip/cidr as
i understand it, am i likely to alleviate some these problems by using
an implementation that e.g has dns wildcards?<br>
<br>
I'd be keen to hear recommendations on which implementation list users
with reasonable traffic levels prefer? ( > 5000 messages a day)<br>
<br>
One last thing, i've just spent the afternoon hacking some code to
produce some reports to help highlight any issues before the phone
starts going, but i'm sure there will be some of those out there
already, any recommendations?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
<br>
Paul.<br>

<pre wrap="">Sounds to me as if you need the Sendmail::Milter module for your perl
installation. Please check CPAN (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://search.cpan.org">http://search.cpan.org</a>).

Sorry to sound so dumb.
