[Greylist-users] Relaydelay on main mail server?

[Paul Venezia]

Well, my feeling is that relaydelay.pl was really just a reference  
implementation. The code I have running on a more than a few servers  
now resembles 0.0.4, but has been hacked six ways from Sunday to do a  
variety of different things.... and I guess that's the reason that  
although I've published the PHP GUI, I haven't revisited that code in  
eons.

Perhaps someone with some time on their hands could dress this up and  
release 0.0.5 with Evan's blessing, coupled with the PHP GUI that  
Matt Prigge and I cooked up. It would make life easier for more than  
a few folks, I reckon.

-P
