Please pardon me, if this comes through twice... I've been using spamdyke for 6 months or so on my server without graylisting and with no problems.
A few days ago I decided to add graylisting. It seems to be working fine. However, it exhibits a behavior that is confusing me. I use tmda on the mail server. (This means that I generally create email address specific to a sender. e.g. When I gave an email address to my cable company to send me bill notifications it was of the form [email protected]) I purchased a game that required an email address for activation purposes. I created a specific address for the game company and used it during the signup. The service was then supposed to send me an activation email. I figured it would take at least 5 minutes (graylist-min-secs) to see the email. No! The email came right through! The left hand side of the email address that the activation email was sent to was nowhere to be found in the domain dir. I recieve quite a few daily emails from various organizations, all sent to different email address of the form [email protected]. I still still seem to be getting all of these daily emails. However not all of these addresses are showing up in the domain dir. I then tried an experiment and sent myself an email using the game specific email address from my gmail account. Now, the left hand side of the address showed up in the domain directory. I have the feeling I'm missing something about graylisting. Any ideas?
