The tables hold +values for the following: + +* **whitelisted_ips**: Lists IPs that can send you email without going +through greylisting. + +* **whitelisted_hostnames**: Lists hostnames that can send you email without +greylisting. This hostname is retrieved by hermes from the reverse +resolution of the ip. It basically allows you to whitelist big chunks +of machines that you want to whitelist and that have a common domain. +It will allow partial matches, so for example adding an entry for +".google.com" will whitelist all machines that send email for google. +notice the dot before the domain, without it you would be allowing all +domains ending in google.com to send you mail, so, for example, I could +register spamgoogle.com and send you spam without going through +greylisting. + +* **whitelisted_tos**: lists email accounts that you don't want greylisting +for. I use it for whitelisting specific accounts that need to receive +email. For example alerts at domain.com + +* **whitelisted_domains**: the same but for whole domains. I use it +regularly for customers that complain about the email delay, usually +because they receive email from many non-repeating different sources. + +* **blacklisted_ips**: ips of hosts you want to blacklist. Keep in mind +that we will ALWAYS return a temporary error, so if you later change +your mind about the blacklist you will receive all the email that was +previously rejected (if they are not very old, of course). + +* **blacklisted_froms**: email accounts you don't want to receive mail +from. The same caveat as on blacklisted_ips applies. + +There is no way to whitelist a specific "from" address, as that would +mean that any spammer guessing it (not that difficult) could easily +send you spam. Still, almost the same functionality can be achieved +with whitelisted_hostnames and whitelisted_ips. + + ### Greylist options explained:
