Hello David,

Could you please tell me what's so bad about postgrey? I am also using it
using and I just do not get where it fails. (For reference I do know
why postgrey is smarter than greylistd. greylistd has no
--auto-whitelist-clients.)

At the time I was implementing greylisting the hand-built exim-acl
stuff either used flat files ($run /binecho >>) or was requiring
postgres or mysql. At that time these slolutions also were less smart
than postgrey.

Situation seems to have changed, though.
