Some ideas for the next milter-greylist release. Idea one ======== Some users complains sometimes about greylisting delays. Milter-greylist allow many ways to satisfy them but it needs to modify greylist.conf and restart. So a good (or a bad) idea could be to give the senders some control on the delay by adapting the waiting time (option -w) according to the X-Priority header (needs to inform senders to be efficient) of icoming mails. Thunderbird allow us to define the following priorities : X-Priority: 1 (Highest) X-Priority: 2 (High) X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-Priority: 4 (Low) X-Priority: 5 (Lowest) MicroSoft use X-MSMail-Priority: High X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MSMail-Priority: ... ... So having in greylist.conf greylist 15m and take care of priority with priority_highest -13m priority_high -10m priority_normal +0 priority_low +45m priority_lowest +4h (I dont know if it's better to give relative or absolute value) Idea Two ======== Many spam come now as a gif, jpeg or png containing text. If we apply the same idea as above delaying longer by adding a new delay to the previous one when a mail come with attachements ct_gif_add 1h ct_jpeg_add 30m ct_png_add 5m ct_htm_add 5m ct_doc_add 5m It needs to scan the body searching for : Content-Type: image/gif Content-Type: image/jpeg etc.
