[SOLVED] Completely Disabling Greylisting - can it be done?

[Steve-M]

I've been back and forth between using and not using PMG at my organization, the thing that's causing me the most snags is greylisting.

In short, we receive a lot of necessary for production, automated email, that is coming from a randomly generated domain for every message (on an unknown / different every time cellular network block), and the sending server software cannot be configured to reattempt redelivery. This probably accounts for 90% of my mail traffic.

Greylisting seems to catch all of this though, I hadn't heard of greylisting before using PMG, and it seems to be doing its job.

Can I make it *not* do its job? The only setting I've found on my own are the "Use Greylisting for IPv4" and "Use Greylisting for IPv6" on the Mail Proxy > Options setting screen, both of them are unchecked, but according to Administration > Tracking Center page, nearly all of my mail is greylisted.

Is there another "Greylisting = On / Off" setting that I'm missing somewhere?

This should disable greylisting - if in doubt you might want to reboot the PMG to make sure (but I'm quite sure this would not be needed)

else - please post `pmgversion -v` and a bit of the system journal showing such mail (`journalctl --since today`).

Rebooting seemed to resolve the issue, however I would agree that it shouldn't have been relevant.

I'm using to doing that on Windows workstations, but my Linux machines I've been kind of like "it's a VM, I didn't change hardware, why would I ever need to reboot this thing?"

Thanks for your help.
