Milter-greylist

Hi,


What I'm wanting to do is to make Milter-Greylist whitelist anyone who 
has ever sent to a particular Email address, as long as those messages 
are legitimate (not spam). I keep a collection of all legitimate mail 
sent to this address so can easily extract the Email addresses using a 
Python script on the Maildir. However, in a quick read over the 
MilterGreylist configuration file manual, it doesn't look like there's a 
way to insert or include another file, or to construct a {list} from 
addresses in another file. What I was thinking of doing was to have the 
main config file refer to a second file, which would contain a list of 
these addresses to be always whitelisted, and that second file would be 
updated from time to time as new valid Email comes in. Is there a way of 
doing this?


Thanks,


Jayson

Hello Jayson,

You can always write the main configuration
file using a script. That is what I am doing;
the current size of my greylist.conf is a bit
more than 57000 lines.

Best,
Attila

There is no include mechanism, but as Attila pointed, you can generate
the config file automatically.

There are also features to query a web service or a LDAP directory in
real time.
