Some questions

2005-01-27 by H Li

Hi,

I just installed milter-greylist-1.6, and it is
running.  Two questions:

1. Is it good to use -L 24 option?  I notice that if
it is used, many emails will not be delayed, users
would be happy.  However, will that let some spam
mails escape from filtering?  Our users (the server
has not installed greylist) receive a lot spam mails
from xxx.yy@... everyday. If the -L 24 option is
used, will those junk mails go through easily?

2. For testing purpose, I deleted all entries in
greylist.db (a test system, total about 20 tuples).
Then, I send one email from my yahoo account to one
user in this testing system, no other emails from any
other systems.  After a few minutes, all deleted lines
are put back, exact like before, including entries for
other users.  Is it normal?  Does it have some
"auto-restore" feature?  If that is the case, will it
automatically "restore" some "bad entries" as a couple
of posts here about "corrupted" db file?

Thanks!

Harvey
