[Greylist-users] Relaydelay on main mail server?

[Dennis Wynne]

If you check the CVS version of relaydelay.pl there is code in it to check 
the domain of the mail against the sendmail access.db file.  If it finds the 
domain with a RELAY or FRIEND designation it bypasses the other checks.

I think I will upgrade to the CVS version - even though it is pre-release. 
Note that this change was logged in on Jul 23  2003, so if we wait for this 
be released before we implement it when might be waiting a while :-)    
Don't get me wrong, the script works a treat and you can't beat the price 
(free) so I am happy with whatever I can get.

Dennis
