anyone having problems with yahoo's greylisting? or its just me? (i get message deffered on every try to send an e-mail, second time it works and goes to inbox) i don't know what to do next..i have spf, domainkeys and eveything..hope i'm not the only one and someone else in here had it and fixed it

Well, this is the main task for greylisting:
first try: temp failure
second try (and all further tries from the same ip & mailaddress): accept the mail

every sending mailserver should be able to handle this and send the mail again.

yes...it is sending mail again, the only problem is that that it sends if after 1 hour and as far as i know you can't make the retry more earlier on qmail

[joximu]

hm - I'm sure there is a patch for qmail... :-)
(there is a qmail patch for everything)...

seriously - this should be possible...

This is one disadvantage of greylisting - but as mentioned above - after one accept it shouldn't be greylisted anymore (same sender ip, sender address, recipient addres)

You can see the retry schedule table for qmail here: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#retry-schedule

Basicly, the second deliver should be tried 6' 40'' after the first...

Ok, what are the logs saying?
Is a second retry done after 6 Minutes? and a third after 26 Min?
If so, then yahoo want's to wait at least more than that, maybe 30 Min...???

Well, this is "a long time" for an email...
