Because spammers like dynamic DNS services, they can simply re-dial to get a new IP address, then flooding again. Many ISPs use third-party RBL service to block spam, includes servers which has dynamic IP addresses. That's why you'd better use a static IP address for mail server.

well that maybe, but a large percentage of our customers seem to be using there cell phones to send and recieve emails, and we look bad if we are constantly blocking there emails. I only hope that whitelisting will over ride this is I enter there entire email domain as " @domain.com"

well i did look for some clues in the mySql database. It appears that an entire block of addresses in the 216.146.33.% is blocked. This address range is related to Dynamic DNS services, a very known company that does lots of email and dynamic DNS. i not sure why policyd is blocking out the whole range of these addresses becuase it not listed on any RTBL list.

Since you use Debian Squeeze, i assume you're running Policyd-1.82 (postfix-policyd).

The greylisting delay is not up to Policyd, instead, it's up to the sender server. Policyd rejects the email, sender server will retry to deliver it.

- For Policyd settings, please check /etc/postfix-policyd.conf.
- For outgoing settings, check Postfix (/etc/postfix/main.cf).
