With GreetPause I am already causing a small delay which works very well for those spammers/bots which are in violation of the standards. However, I have carefully singled out all major email MX outbound hosts for 0 greet pause. But greet pause is an SMTP delay waiting not a rejection as gray listsing does. Graylisting leaves the mail delay in the hands of the other end - I prefer the control in my hands. I want email coming through fast - when I'm on the phone with someone and they say i just sent you the xxx .. i dont want to wait for it. Just my view -though with work graylisters should/could/and likely do whitelist all relevant major isp's - I am not an advocate and on the servers I control, I do not use it. gene/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
