[Sqlgrey-users] Enhancements planned

[Lionel B. <lio...@bo...>]

Hi sqlgrey-users,

I've just checked postgrey latest version and they did some enhancements 
that I think could be useful :

- add a X-Greylist header describing the treatment received by the 
message. postgrey seems to only flag messages that have been delayed, 
would you be interested by knowing why a message is allowed on first try 
(net whitelisted, address/IP in AWL, domain/IP in AWL) ?

- postgrey isn't using the client_IP by default now, but the class-C 
network instead. I'm not sure it really is useful, but I lack data to 
make up my mind on this. postgrey added a supplementary check that 
compares the IP address with the fqdn to guess if it is a residential 
connection (last numbers of the IP in the fqdn), in this case it apply 
more strict rules (reverting to the client_IP key instead of the 
class-C_net). This latter check might be useful. Something like a 
"residential-reconnect-delay" parameter meant to be higher than the 
default one for example.

- Better VERP cleanups : this will be included in the next SQLgrey 
release (really simple to add, most useful to support some mailing list 
managers),

- There's a reporting tool for postgrey too that reads the log and 
access the DB to report spam attempts (grouped by client_IP, listing 
each sender/recipient pair and allowing to flag client_IPs which are MX 
for the domain in the PTR, ...), this one could be quite a lot of work 
to code but a reporting tool can be quite handy.

If you have enhancements in mind, feel free to discuss them on the 
mailing-list and put a RFE on sourceforge.

Best regards,

Lionel.
