Hi,
I have a working installation of Postfix and Dovecot that works nicely. I've added SpamAssassin, which does a good job of flagging spam. Now I wanted to add greylisting to my server.
Here's what I did.
$ sudo yum install postgrey
Increase the greylisting delay.
# /etc/sysconfig/postgrey POSTGREY_OPTS="--delay=300"
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf accordingly.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_auth_destination, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_policy_service unix:/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket, reject
Start/restart services.
$ sudo systemctl enable postgrey $ sudo systemctl start postgrey $ sudo systemctl restart postfix
Now Postgrey seems to be running OK.
$ systemctl status postgrey ● postgrey.service - Postfix Greylisting Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postgrey.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since mer. 2019-06-19 09:39:04 CEST; 19min ago Docs: man:postgrey(8) Process: 5228 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/postgrey --unix=/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket --pidfile=/var/run/postgrey.pid --group=postgrey --user=postgrey --greylist-text=Greylisted for %%s seconds --daemonize $POSTGREY_OPTS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 5225 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /var/run/postgrey.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 5229 (/usr/sbin/postg) CGroup: /system.slice/postgrey.service └─5229 /usr/sbin/postgrey --unix=/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket --pidfile=/var/run/p...

The only problem is that there's no greylisting. I tried to send mails from various mail servers to this machine. Everything gets delivered immediately, and there's no greylisting action in /var/log/maillog.
Any suggestions?
