Hi!

I wrote a small greylisting for qmail (only C + dietlibc).
It uses /var/qmail/grey dir to store IP[FaddressTaddress] info.

I plan to write greyd which stores the same info. 
It will work similar to dnscache.  Bloking program
will ask greyd to accept/refuse a message.  
Such greyd is better than /var/qmail/grey dir format.

I don't have acces to a big server running qmail.
Can someone post here how many grey entries exist
in one such queue.  If they are less than 256*100
there is no need of greyd.  The format of my
/var/qmail/grey dir is (assme IP=a.b.c.d):
  (A) /var/qmail/grey/a/b.c.dFops@xpample.comTany@host.edu
  (B) /var/qmail/grey/a/b.c.d
Format (A) is used only if GREYENVELOPE variable is present.

Nikola
