As far as I know all greylisting implementations use the same basic criteria, a tuple made up of sending servers IP address, recipient address, and senders address. That information is normally stored in some kind of table or database along with the times of initial contact. The next time that server tries to send a message with the same tuple it checks if the delay time has expired or not. If it has expired that tuple is auto whitelisted for some period of time, usually at least 24 hours if not 3 days. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx George Orwell was an optimist.
