Whitelist my backup MX from Greylisting

RealAbraCadaver

New Pleskian
I want to whitelist my backup MX servers so that I can run greylisting on them and my Plesk server. I don't want the backup to greylist and then my Plesk server to greylist the same messages. I could run it only on the Plesk server, however if the mail arrives at my backup then it takes some time to make it to my Plesk server, and then some time for the greylisting/retry.

In Plesk Server-Wide Mail Settings / White List I have added the following for my backup MX servers:

  • 208.79.240.2 / 32
  • 208.79.241.2 / 32

I restarted Postfix and Milter but still see this in my maillog, telling me it is still deferring mail from my backup MX server:

Feb 13 17:03:36 u17411632 postfix/smtpd[4159]: disconnect from mail2.rollernet.us[208.79.241.2]

How do I do this?

Hi,

have a look at the following command and see if it helps you:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/glmng --help

I'd think "glmng --disable-greylisting [--address=<address>]" might help.
If not try adding your DNS Names not IPs to the white list.

Regards,
Kristian
