Got the relaydelay script working last night. There were several un-obvious (to someone who does not work in LINUX all the time) that had to be done. Anyway, a few more questions. We only have a small number of users, so on our current mail server have all the "to" names white-listed and "everything else" blacklisted. This takes a huge load off the server when there is a new worm going around that tried to spread by sending e-mail to [email protected] ("[email protected]" and "[email protected]" etc). I need to add this to my greylist box, ahead of the relaydelay script - I would assume. No need to add a triplet to the MySQL database that contains a "to name" that will never be accepted by the real mail server. Is there an easy way to do this? Keep in mind this server works for several domain names - so I would like to list the real users like "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" as valid, and exclude every other name - even "[email protected]" if I can. I use online blacklists with our current mail server - and it does catch quite a few messages (not as many as it used to). What is an easy way to add the online blacklist looking to my new server? I would think it would work best if I could do this, in this order: 1) Make sure the to: of the message is to a real user on one of the domains 2) Make sure the from IP / from / mail server is not on one of the online blacklists 3) Then hit the relaydelay script to wait to see if the sending server will retry Does this sound correct? I am using CentOS 4.2 w/sendmail sendmail-8.13.1-2 Thanks in advance for any help, Dennis
