<pre wrap="">Thanks for the hint. It was the CRLF sequence from creating the file on a
Windows machine. I haven't had a problem with this in a long time, bash
scripts etc. work fine, no matter if LF or CRLF is used, but it seems to
make a difference when including a file.

It's the default and been the default since postgrey saw the light of day,
but I wouldn't deem it "recommended". ;-) I've been doing greylisting
(with sendmail) for many years and started out with ten minutes.

You're history with greylisting eclipses my recent foray into the
field, so I bow to your experience. I took the 300 from the CentOS
HowTo where they write:-<br>

Minutes ) is really not recommended.</quote><br>

<pre wrap="">This has
proven to be quite successful, but there is a growing number of spammers
that come back after exactly ten minutes, so I'm moving it up to 11
minutes on new machines. I doubt that 5 minutes gives any advantage in
terms of faster turnaround time for ham messages. Most MTAs retry after 15
or 30 minutes, I would actually consider an MTA that retries after only 5
minutes a bit rude.

I started my delay at 60 seconds as the how-to suggests, and have moved
it up to 300 now. If your experience suggests 660, then I'll try that
