scalix, mailscanner & clamav work fine thanks to this forum - now i am trying to implement greylist following this howto:

http://www.mailscanner.info/greylist.html

this is what the log-file reads:

milter-greylist: m3LBR934028420: skipping greylist because address 127.0.0.1 is whitelisted, (from=<xxx@xx.xx>, rcpt=<yyy@yy.yy>, addr=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]) ACL 35

I suppose that scalix receives the email and forwards it to sendmail, therefor e the sender-ip is alway 127.0.0.1 - am I right? is there a solution for my problem?

thx,
michael

I am currently struggling with this as well.

I actually greylisted the local address (127.0.0.1) but then added this:

acl whitelist domain mydomain.com

This clause selects source machines based on their DNS name, performing a suffix search. For instance, this will whitelist any machine in the mydomain.com domain:

It's kludgy, but I'm trying it now to see how it behaves.
