/* * greylisting is the practice of making unknown callers call twice, with * a pause between them, before accepting their mail and adding them to a * whitelist of known callers. * * There's a bit of a problem with yahoo and other large sources of mail; * they have a vast pool of machines that all run the same queue(s), so a * 451 retry can come from a different IP address for many, many retries, * and it can take ~5 hours for the same IP to call us back. To cope * better with this, we immediately accept mail from any system on the * same class C subnet (IPv4 /24) as anybody on our whitelist, since the * mail-sending machines tend to be clustered within a class C subnet. * * Various other goofballs, notably the IEEE, try to send mail just * before 9 AM, then refuse to try again until after 5 PM.
