which shows that you didn't read the discussion that was about enabling greylisting on *certain* *specificaly* *suspicious* hosts. a suspicious host is: * either listed on some RBL's (rbl listing "dynamic" blocks are a good start usually) * either having no reverse DNS set * either having curious EHLO lines (that one may catch too much good mail sadly, so it's to handle with care). * ... I apply greylisting on the two first criteriums on a quite used mail server (around 300.k mails per week, which is not very big, but should be representative enough). there is less than 50 mails a week over those that *may* be legitimate mails that are actually slowed down. so *please* do me a favour, read the thread you are answering to, because you really really answer miles away from the debate. and if you never actually realized, there *IS* such a slowdown on debian mail lists, it's called crossassassin, it kills master on a regular basis, and is *REALLY* less effective than greylisting. when spam makes our MX load go to highs I never suspected a machine could resist, I think maybe it's time to try a more robust solution. Pierre, that is pissed that his @debian.org address barely more usable than a hotmail one (and I do not know any worse mail service on the entire web). -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
