[Cialug] Sendmail spam rejection

[Nathan C. Smith]

It appears it can be set to cache lookups/responses:

cache-accept-ttl=604800 
The cache time-to-live in seconds for positive responses. The cache
remembers the results of a previous call-ahead. 

cache-type=/var/db/milter-limit.db 
The file path used for BDB or flatfile cache types. 

cache-gc-frequency=250 
This option specifies the cache garbage collection frequency, which is based
on the number of SMTP connections (not messages) handled by the milter.
Every N connections, the cache is traversed to remove expired entries. 

cache-reject-ttl=604800 
The cache time-to-live in seconds for negative responses. The cache
remembers the results of a previous call-ahead. 
cache-type=bdb 

The cache type can be one of: bdb, flatfile, hash.
