Greylisting Toggle menu not working properly

[e-d-i-t]

So I disabled Greylisting by using menu 6) MailWatch Settings, 1) Toggle Greylisting
But now, every time I visit this menu it states that Greylisting is enabled (and it's not) so I can't enable it.

So everytime I go into this menu:

[EFA] Enable/Disable greylisting

[EFA] Greylisting will temporarily reject any email from a sender it
[EFA] does not recognize. If the mail is legitimate the originating server
[EFA] will, after a delay, try again and, if sufficient time has elapsed,
[EFA] the email will be accepted.

[EFA] This however causes an delay in receiving mail, by default this system
[EFA] is configured to reject any email for 5 minutes.
[EFA] Not all admin's like this setup so giving you the option to disable
[EFA] greylisting on this system.

[EFA] Greylisting is currently ENABLED
[EFA] Would you like to DISABLE greylisting? [y/N/c]: y

[EFA] Greylisting DISABLED
Press [Enter] key to continue...

Version?

[e-d-i-t]

Latest, 3.0.1.8

Same here. Can't disable it after upgrading to 3.0.1.8

[shawniverson]

grrr....can't reproduce but know its there. Do either of you have a snippet of your postfix config you could share? I wonder if it has something to do with how things are in the config....

Same here - cant disable greylisting in 3.0.1.8 !

post the output of the following

Code: Select all

sudo service sqlgrey status

sudo chkconfig sqlgrey --list

also try

Code: Select all

sudo grep -ri 'sqlgrey' /var/log

[stusmith]

Also, if you want to get really nasty, you could always:

/etc/sqlgrey/clients_fqdn_whitelist.local

Code: Select all

/.*/

that should match any possible domain and 'whitelist' them in sqlgrey ( bypass greylisting for matches ). it's a dirty workaround, but I've already found a ton of providers who don't resend via the same IP address, so I've had to white list them via

Code: Select all

*.stupidMTA.com
stupidMTA.com

Admittedly, I'm lucky in that I only have a single mail gateway to worry about, so I really shouldn't poo-poo folks who run a bigger environment...

the documentation is available by running

Code: Select all

sqlgrey --man

--EDITED-- with correct IP for loopback address

My guess is that you'll want to remove the

Code: Select all

check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:2501

from the /etc/postfix/main.cf file. It's probably under smtpd_recipient_restrictions. Don't forget to remove any extra commas if you just comment the line out to test ( I recommend doing this first ).

You can enable in Mailwatch the greylisting by editing the file

/var/www/html/mainscanner/conf.php

Code: Select all

// Greylisting menu item
define('SHOW_GREYLIST', true);
