wow, thanks for the comple info.... >--> >6. Gray Listing (email) >--> Errr... what? Greylisting (www.greylisting.org) is a new technique to slow the spread of spam, The technique simply delays the mail 300 seconds and forced the original mail server to attempt redelivery. Spammers will generally never attempt redelivery so their mail messages will not get through. Once the greylisting process is complete future email messages from the usernames/ip will immediately be delivered to the destination.
