To manually remove an entry from the automatic whitelist (or rather all entrys on a certain ipnumber) is also my most important wish. As a matter of fact I joined this list a few days ago only to discuss that feature, and my intention was to contribute with this myself, but if it's already in progress, then there is no reason for me to do this. How i would use it? We have another milter created by me, that runs Spamassassin and antivirus from F-Secure. After installing milter-greylist the viruses stopped by F-secure decreased from about 50-100 viruses a day to less than one a day. Now after a few weeks it's up to about 5-10 a day. About the same thing has happended with Spamassassin. I think this is because something has happend with these ipnumbers, perhaps it was a dynamic ipnumber that someone else connected to, or the computer on that ipnumber got infected by a virus or some spamsending program. To prevent this, I would like my own milter to call something in milter-greylist to remove everything on that ipnumber from the autowhitelist every time something bad is recognised of Spamassassin or F-Secure. After they are removed from the whitelist they can be greylisted again. --- In milter-greylist@yahoogroups.com, Oliver Fromme <olli@...> wrote: > > > Ranko Zivojnovic wrote: > > Michael Menge wrote: > > > > > > > > If you want to alter the database, IMO, the right way is > > > > a command line tool that would talk to the daemon through > > > > a Unix socket > > > > > > This tool could also be used to dump the db and stop the milter. > > > > I have this already in progress, though not done yet... > > > > It would be useful for me to know as to what other commands would be > > useful to have. > > > > Things I have in mind currently are: > > * Ping daemon to see if alive or stuck > > * Reconfigure > > * Force db dump > > * Clean shutdown of daemon > > * Increase/decrease debugging level > > * Stats [...] > > My most important wish: > * Manually remove an entry from the automatic whitelist. > > Best regards > Oliver > > -- > Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
