[Cialug] Postini and Graylisting - Solved

[Todd E Thomas]

Matt, that would be cool. I need to answer more emails :)

Claus, I'm glad you got it working. Sorry for the confusion. It's the 
product of chasing too many problems at once :)

As a general rule, I define everything explicitly. The internal domain 
gets defined first, then the clients we serve, then pick up the 
stragglers after that. It's no wonder you don't get into this file much, 
I have yet to find a client that has a full list. Mine is pretty basic:

$ sudo cat /etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients
# postgrey whitelist for mail client hostnames
# --------------------------------------------
# put this file in /etc/postfix or specify its path
# with --whitelist-clients=xxx
mydomain.tld
domain.us
domain.com
domain.net

TT
