Hi Guys,

Eric: Thank you for your response. I am trying what you suggested.  Yes I
did mean X-Greylist and not X Greylist.

Of course after implementing it I also thought of testing what John warned
about below. And indeed milter-greylist does not purge pre existing
X-Greylist headers - I tested that as well.  So John, thanks for mentioning
that as well.

I would assume though that Spamassassin would only look at the topmost
X-Greylist header.

If I do get it to work I think I will keep it till I start noticing an
increase in spam due to X-Greylist headers being spoofed.

Be aware: unless milter-greylist strips off any preexisting
X-Greylist headers, that solution is ripe for abuse. Spammers could
trivially forge such a header.

  had been well armed. ... Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw
  Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag,
  half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of
  the Nazis.                        -- Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
