Thank you Brian The grey listing is now working but I am still getting problems with spf
When the following lines are active check_policy_service unix:private/policyd-spf policyd-spf_time_limit = 3600 Here is an example of maillog error reports: Nov 3 10:57:51 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: connect from mail-vw0- f52.google.com[209.85.212.52] Nov 3 10:57:52 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: warning: connect to private/policyd-spf: Connection refused Nov 3 10:57:52 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: warning: problem talking to server private/policyd-spf: Connection refused Nov 3 10:57:53 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: warning: connect to private/policyd-spf: Connection refused Nov 3 10:57:53 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: warning: problem talking to server private/policyd-spf: Connection refused Nov 3 10:57:53 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail- vw0-f52.google.com[209.85.212.52]: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem; from=<photoviz...@googlemail.com> to=<da...@vizion2000.net> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-vw0-f52.google.com> Nov 3 10:57:53 dns1 postfix/smtpd[20636]: disconnect from mail-vw0- f52.google.com[209.85.212.52] postconf -n does not seem to help as the only difference is that it reports the additional presence of the relevant lines.
