greylist operation ...
This program provides a command line interface to greylistd(8); please refer to that manual page for more information on the purpose and functionality of this program.
In the following discussion, data... typically refers to the following triplet of information:
<sending host's IP address> <sender@address>
<recipient@address>
The following operations are available:
NOTE: This operation is non-intrusive, and thus does not update any of the greylist data. So, for instance, if the data is currently in the "grey" list, but its minimum retry time (retryMin) has elapsed, the text "white" would be printed. However, unless an update takes place prior to the retryMax timeout, the data would still expire from the "grey" list.
This operation would normally be used by mail transport agents (MTAs).
NOTE: Internally, greylistd(8) hashes the provided data into a single 32-bit value for efficiency. Prior to version 0.6, the original data was not retained; as of version 0.6, data is saved if the "savetriplets" setting in the [data] section of the configuration file is "true". Only data items (i.e. triplets) that have been seen while this setting were enabled can be listed.
Data is also saved after any operation if a certain update interval (default is 300 seconds/5 minutes) has elapsed since the last save, and there are no pending requests to greylistd(8).
If the whitelist is cleared, all new data trilplets will initially be in a "grey" state.
Use with caution!
