RE: [milter-greylist] bogus auto-whitelisted entries galore

2005-09-13 by attila.bruncsak@itu.int

Hello,

You can eventually use the access feature of the sendmail config (in myhost.mc):

FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access')dnl

After you can put into the your access file the following:

to:myhost.com	ERROR:5.1.1:"550 User unknown"
to:validuser1@...	OK
to:validuser2@myhost.com	OK

You have to list all your valid users' e-mail addresses in the access database.

This is what we are using in our company.

Bests,
Attila
