I have run into a sort of impedance mismatch between MAIL FROM signing and greylisting. 1. I send a message with signed MAIL FROM (old SES) 2. recipient rejects with 450 - try again in 300 minutes 3. sendmail tries again, but the timecode has changed, and so the recipients greylisting software thinks I'm a new sender. 4. go back to step 2 One solution would be to bind the MAIL FROM to the message somehow when deferring due to 450. But how to do that with sendmail? I am signing MAIL FROM via a socket map - which is called on each attempt. How would I recognize that it is the same message? How could I get sendmail to keep the new MAIL FROM? A real klugy solution would be to relay through another server - that's one way of making the MAIL FROM persistent... -- Stuart D.
