Is there a way to make the number of succesful retries before whitelisting configurable for postgrey? I use a different implementation of greylisting alltogether, so it doesn't really concern me too much, but it seems like a good idea. The reason for the request being that while it is quite possible for a zombie machine to accidentally resend the same mail from/rcpt to combination by accident on a second spam run, the odds of it sending 10 or 15 (or some number, depending on your circumstances, I guess) are vanishingly small. Only a mechanism with a real queue runner would get more than a few successes, and those are the ones that should be whitelisted. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
