Good morning.

I have a fairly simple question about the graylist-exception options for
spamdyke.conf.  I have checked the documentation, and searched the
mailing lists, but not found my answer.

With other whitelist options with spamdyke, whitelisting the IP/RDNS
will bypass all filters.

With graylist exceptions, it says that it will bypass the graylisting,
but it doesn't mention if the other filters are bypassed, or if they are
enforced.

I have some domains on my spamdyke-enabled servers which go through
postini, and as a result I had to put the postini servers in the
graylist-exceptions-rdns file; but while postini doesn't have to be
graylisted anymore, it doesn't appear to be applying many other filters
(if any).  I do get some DENIED_OTHER, but I don't see any denials for
missing MX, or unresolvable domains, etc.  While it is possible that
postini is vetting those email addresses, certainly not all, because I
see some obvious, obvious spam running into the incoming mail queue,
past spamdyke.

Is it possible that the graylist-exception is also  allowing the bypass
of most of the other filters as well, or am I simply ignorant of what
precisely the graylist exceptions are doing?  Or is it otherwise
impossible to run some of the other checks against the incoming mail as
a result of coming through postini?

Any comments would be appreciated. In the meantime, I'll see if I can
update - I've have spamdyke-4.0 installed on my systems here, so the
graylist-exception option is available.



Thanks,
