Topic: How do you edit .dbm files

[bjoyce]

Hi,
Sorry for the crosspost.
I implemented greylisting on my server but there are some servers that do not retry sending email in Australia, namely bigpond.
By adding a server to the file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf it does bypass the greylisting and also the spamassin checking which I dont want to do.
If I could manually add entries to the greylist database located at  /usr/bin/config/denysoft_greylist.dbm I would have finer control over the recieved email.
Unfortunatly I dont know perl and can not open or edit the .dbm file.

Does anyone know how I can edit this file, or , edit entries in the greylist database?

Thanks

Brad

If I read this excerpt from /usr/share/qpsmtpd/plugins/greylisting correctly:

Code: [Select]

 # Always allow relayclients and whitelisted hosts/senders
  return DECLINED if $self->qp->connection->relay_client();
  return DECLINED if $self->qp->connection->notes('whitelisthost');
  return DECLINED if $transaction->notes('whitelistsender');
the greylisting plugin supports the use of the whitelisting function, so you can cause a given host to be ignored by the greylisting plugin using whitelist_soft.

This post:

 has an entry describing how to enable whitelist_soft and create a whitelisted host.
