Milter-greylist

Hi, I seem to have noticed this problem a couple of times.  An email is 
sent to alan@... and margaret@...

The wife's email address doesn't grey list but the alan@... is. 
The email is only delivered to margaret@...


Dec 31 19:47:47 idaeus milter-greylist: sBVJljG8004962: skipping greylist 
because recipient <margaret@...> is whitelisted, 
(from=<john@...>, rcpt=<margaret@...>, 
addr=smtpout1.wanadoo.co.uk[80.12.242.29]) ACL 192

Dec 31 19:47:47 idaeus milter-greylist: sBVJljdD004963: addr 
smtpout1.wanadoo.co.uk[80.12.242.29] from <john@...> to 
<alan@...> delayed for 00:05:00 (ACL 194)

to=<alan@...>, reject=451 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come 
back later

Could be the fsnet server perhaps not resending because the message has 
been accepted for margaret by my server?  Or something I need to 
configure?

Yes,it seems the sender server should retry for the address that had a
temporary failure. I guess you will have to globally whitelist this one.

OK, thanks for that.  Is this a common problem?  It's not something I'd 
normally see as we don't usually get mail addressed to both of us.


Could I ask for advice please?

The return path header is an fsnet address but the received header is 
wanadoo

Received: from smtpout.wanadoo.co.uk (smtpout1.wanadoo.co.uk 
[80.12.242.29]) by idaeus.clifford.ac (8.14.4/8.14.4/Debian-4) with ESMTP 
id sBVJljG8004962
for <margaret@...>; Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:47:47 GMT

so I think I should be looking to whitelist wanadoo.co.uk, as in

racl whitelist domain /.*@wanadoo\.co\.uk/


Or is that far too broad a whitelist?

It happens sometimes. There are always odd-behaving servers,
and tis is why whitelisting is there.

I would rather whitelist the netblocks allocated to wanadoo UK, but that 
should do it too.
