Yes,
It's very strange.  It's almost as if my greylisting isn't being released.

This is only happening (that I'm aware of) with emails from [email protected] to [email protected] Correction: after looking at the logs a little further, there are a couple other emails having the same problem.

Not sure if my ISP has changed something (I doubt it) or if something is wrong in my greylist folder. Is there a way to dump the greylist folder (will a folder delete work?) and get the greyllisting to start over for that email address?

Looking at the logs I see this repeated throughout the logs:
Jan 4 02:23:46 web1 spamdyke[30101]: FILTER_GRAYLISTED sender: [email protected] recipient: [email protected] path: /var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/kettlewell.net/vp/\
kettlewell.net/ceo
Jan 4 02:23:46 web1 spamdyke[30101]: DENIED_GRAYLISTED from: [email protected] to: [email protected] origin_ip: 69.145.248.58 origin_rdns: cluster1.bresnan.net aut\

h: (unknown)

I have this is my config file.
graylist-min-secs=180
graylist-max-secs=1814400


Here's a copy of the warning message that I get from my ISP:

This is a warning message only.

That's very strange -- if you're getting a notification from your ISP that says the message has been delayed but they will continue attempting to deliver, the message should pass the graylist filter. Is your ISP running some exotic/impatient mail server? Have you set the "graylist-max-secs" option to a very low number or "graylist-min-secs" to a very high number? Are the sender's and recipient's addresses constant or do they use some kind of one-time-use address format? Can you look in your logs to see if something else is happening, especially any error messages?

To answer your question, however, there is no option to explicitly skip graylisting for a specific sender or recipient. You can, however, create a configuration directory for the sender/recipient (or their domain(s)) and deactivate graylisting there.

I'm trying to not greylist the connection between two emails on the same domain that we have...

seems that my ISP has gotten in the middle of things and is (silently) dropping emails that respond with a greylisted message

I am getting a bounce-back from my ISP saying that it's been greylisted and will eventually be delivered... but I can only hold my breath so long :)

So my question is: what is the right format for doing a never-greylist between 2 email addresses?

I don't see never-greylist in the 4.0 documentation, so I think that is for the older version, but I'm really not sure, and nothing I try seems to make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated , and an example will earn you a virtual beer, glass of wine or shot of bourbon - your choice!
