Nothing there.

I have done further tests. I added this accept directive at the start of
the act:

  accept
    domains      = +local_domains
    dnslists      = list.dnswl.org
    log_message      = $sender_host_address is whitelisted in rcpt check


and the result is that... nothing happens.

greylisting is skipped if I add the condition that greylisting is done only
if the sender ip is not in the dnswl list.
So the accept directive should make the acl accept the messages from gmail,
but that is apparently not the case. Am I misunderstanding something?
