Greylisting settings fails

Hi,

I 've setup greylisting by removing all black domains pattern lines:

Black domains patterns list:
*[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]*
*[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9]*
*[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]*
*[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9[0-9]][0-9]*
dsl|pool|broadband|hsd
dynamic|static|ppp|dyn-ip|dial-up

Because some messages from valid sender (like "spooler.via_____rks.es") were removed as it matches the pattern.
Also some messages from missconfigured (but valid) MTA were removed. So I also cleared the IP patterns.

All messages from IP now are greylisted now but from "pools", "dynamics"... are still black listed.

Is this a bug or is there another place to configure?

Regards.

Hi Flachzange,


Thru:

/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:*[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]*
/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:*[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9]*
/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:*[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]*
/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:*[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9[0-9]][0-9]*
/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:"dsl|pool|broadband|hsd"
/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --update-server -domains-blacklist del:"dynamic|static|"|dyn-ip|dial-up"


Then when

/usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing -i

Everything is apparently OK. Lines were removed.

IP addresses are all greylisted fine, but "statics", "ppps"... still are black listed.


Another question is why not all messages are checked.
In example this spam messages passed all the filters even they match the pattern I deleted (and black lists other messages):

Received: from adsl-gte-la-2xx-86-209-102.mminternet.com (HELO rjkdg.mminternet.com) (2xx.86.209.102)
or this one:
Received: from 61.pool8x-5x-207.dynamic.orange.es (HELO zvryuv.orange.es) (8x.5x.207.61)

Extrange behaviour.
Regards.
 
Yes. I've restarted qmail, SpamAssassin, Dr.Web...
And also turn off and on greylisting at server level.

After /usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing -i

I noticed that greylisting is also enabled on domain level. Does this imply that there are also B/W-Lists on domain level?
