Tony,

If I read the article correctly, Would that mean I should add hosts =
+ignore_unknown to all the the defer statements in the Greylist acl
statemements?

for example, this:

        defer   ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${if eq{$acl_m2}{0}{yes}}
                condition       = ${lookup mysql{GREYLIST_ADD}{yes}{no}}
                message         = Now greylisted - please try again in 1 
minute.
                log_message     = ADDING TO GREYLIST
        defer   ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${if eq{$acl_m2}{1}{yes}}
                message         = Still greylisted - please try again in 1 
minute.
                log_message     = STILL GREYLISTED
        defer
                ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${lookup mysql{GREYLIST_UPDATE}{no}{no}}
                message         = Greylist update failed
                log_message     = GREYLIST UPDATE FAILED

Would change to this:

defer   ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +ignore_unknown : +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${if eq{$acl_m2}{0}{yes}}
                condition       = ${lookup mysql{GREYLIST_ADD}{yes}{no}}
                message         = Now greylisted - please try again in 1 
minute.
                log_message     = ADDING TO GREYLIST
        defer   ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +ignore_unknown : +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${if eq{$acl_m2}{1}{yes}}
                message         = Still greylisted - please try again in 1 
minute.
                log_message     = STILL GREYLISTED
        defer
                ! hosts         = +whitelist
                ! hosts         = +ignore_unknown : +relay_from_hosts
                ! authenticated = *
                condition       = ${lookup mysql{GREYLIST_UPDATE}{no}{no}}
                message         = Greylist update failed
                log_message     = GREYLIST UPDATE FAILED

Or is there something else I am missing?
