Hi

I am quite surprised about the relation from DKIM and greylisting i found in page : https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/ddx/User+Stories

Greylisting is useful to reject SMTP sessions comming from zombies. It is used to finish SMTP sessions eraly in the process of SMTP dialog (after EHLO, MAIL From: and RCPT To, before DATA).
The DKIM signature can be checked only after all the message is completely received so it can't be checked before the greylisting protection is applied. I don't think DKIM can be used to autowhitelist IPs for greylist process (this can be done with SPF).

Am I wrong ?

Serge

ps : I would like to review ddx subscribers on the web server, but the this operation is not authorized even for authenticated subscribers. Could the list owner change the config for that please ?
