Greylist Exclusion List Question

[jpgm]

HI,
I'm using ProxMox Mail Gateway for some time now, and I'm planning to start using Greylist to avoid Spam, but I'm having some problems defining the Exclusion List. I wat to exclude from Greylist check all emails that come from a *.pt email (my country TLD). In the Greylist Exlusions I inserted a Regular expression rule "pt$", that the tests shows is correct (I think ).
The problem resides in the fact that the gateway Greylists all mails, not looking at my Regular Expression whit a 450 error:

450 <myself@mydom.pt>: Recipient address rejected: Service is unavailable
quit
221 Bye

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hello,

why do you want to exclude this manually?

Proxmox learns and you have nothing to do.

Second, you can exclude certain Hosts from blacklisting mails coming from them. Trusting a whole *.pl-Domain space is not a very good idea.

What do you loose wth greylisting?

Maximum 30 Minuntes at the first startup. If you receive maisl from everytime the same adresses, proxmox learns this and guides the mail in future to your mailhost without delay.

Kind regards

Hi, thanks for your answer,
I have 2 reasons to exclude all the .pt (and not .pl ) domain,
first, the spam I receive from there is residual, almost zero,
and second, all the clients of my company use the .pt domain and we receive lots of urgent requests every day, 30 minutes (in the best case, if the sender server tries again in that time) is eternity! Even if it's only the first mail from each person...

But despite those facts the problem is that, aparently, the gateway is ignoring my filter! Can someone point me to what I'm doing wrong?

hi,
the right regular expression in your case is:

.*\.pt
