concept, more flexible options for SPF...

2005-11-03 by Matt Kettler

Right now, milter-greylist optionally uses SPF for one thing only, whitelisting
hosts that pass SPF checks.

This makes sense in the standard "greylist everything with some exceptions"
configuration of milter-greylist.

However, that's not how I use milter-greylist. I default to whitelisting, and
only greylist specific hosts.

I'm envisioning something a little more flexible.. something like making SPF an
ACL target so you can do things like:

acl whitelist spf pass

or, more for what I'd be interested in:

acl greylist spf fail

Does anyone think that would be desirable/useful? I might be able to put some
time in and develop a patch to do this if there's interest..

Yes, i think so.

To greylist just the suspicious hosts is more desirable than to greylist all, in my opinion.

I also think it's desirable. The ability to enable or disable SPF on some
address basis would be very interesting.

Someday we should add the blacklist keyword too, that would give interesting
abilities.
