Dear Peter, Thanks for your input too! Actually yesterday I have also tried afterwards to do a "spamdb -a" and as I didn't see any immediate effect (IP still listed under GREY), I simply assumed that it didn't work. From your mail I understand that it stays for a while as GREY until it expires, so maybe I wasn't patient enough. Anyhow today as I checked this IP is listed under WHITE so it looks like it finally worked as I wanted. Regards, M.L.

If it doesn't behave that way, I'd think reporting a bug would be in order, if you have sufficient logging going on at least. - P -- Peter N. M.
