greylisting after smtp_auth

Unread post by kain »

hi everyone,
I'm suing ARTs packages on a fedora box and plesk from quite some time now, but in the latest month emerged a number of users that would like to send mails through our smtp server via a mobile connection.

as you know mobile providers tends to assign a dynamic ip per connection made, thus giving me some headache because greylist finds a lot of ip addresses.

granted I can ask them to keep their outgoing mail in the folder and the mail client will try (in most cases) to resend the email, but usually they can't keep themselves connected, and the next connection, with the mail still outgoing, has another ip address, rendering invalid the attempt.

is there a way to bypass greylist (not other measures) to authenticated smtp users?

thanks.

Using Spamdyke is one way. When you set up Spamdyke you can make it bypass all Spamdyke checks for SMTP authenticated users.

The other option is to enable the submission port (587), and not have graylisting on that port.

What you are looking for can be accomplished by remove greylisting from the /etc/xinetd.d/smtps_psa - just delete "/var/qmail/bin/greylist" from the server_args section.
