Roberto,

We're currently testing the software (see original post :))  Would like to know if we can get a copy of this beta so I can try and get it approved for purchase.

Thanks!

Dave

Thought .... are we using the "dnsbl white list"?  Can that be used to generate entries in the gray-list allow list that expire in a year or so?

Great news Roberto! Tongue

You know what else would be really good, a way to do a soft reset to reload the greylist file without having to do a complete restart. The same way the spamfilter.ini is read in every minute, but it wouldn't have to be that frequently.
 
 I know, I know, we keep asking for the sky, but when you have over 400 domains and a huge autowhitelistdelivery table when using SFE it take almost 5 minutes to load SFE into memory.
 
Thanks! Wink

Our greylist file has about 235K entries and service about 5k mailboxes. We have 2 SFE's.
<soapbox>
Greylisting is a excellent tool and really has decreased the amount of traffic hitting our servers, but if it causes long delivery delays and causes perception that your service is 'slow' because sometimes it takes over an hour for an email to get delivered (because it was bouncing around between different IP or in our case multiple SFE's), then it becomes a liablilty.
 
We have an organ donation firm that needed timely emails from all around the country, but even when they whitelisted everyone they would still get some emails over an hour old because of the greylisting. They threatened to leave so I put them on a copy of SFE with no greylisting. Since then I've had to put 6 other companies on that same SFE with no greylisting because of complaints of slow delivery of emails, usually from senders in companies like IBM and other large corps that have a LOT of different IP's used to deliver mail and which they alternate retries.
I hate it when people tell me my service sucks and I can't do anything about it. I love SFE, but greylisting is its achilles heel in a multi SFE environment and where its not easily possible to put complete subnets in for accepting emails from large ISP's.
 
</soapbox>

WebGuyz,

When you mention "performance", am I interpreting correctly in that you'd prefer to loose some performance in exchange for the flexibility of being able to manually add subnets in the greylist?

In regards to the sharing of the greylist amongst multiple servers, this is a *much* bigger challenge to address. Just to get the ball possibly rolling, could you let me know how many entries you currently have in the GreyListAllowed.txt file?
