Greylite is a SPAM filter with exceptional effectiveness and without false positives. It combines natively with qmail and works as a proxy for any SMTP server. It implements a modified greylisting algorithm that improves the filtering effectiveness and minimizes the delay drawbacks associated with the standard greylisting algorithm. It is self-contained because it uses SQLite, and is easy to setup and maintain, small, and fast.

Recent releases


Release Notes: greylite now supports load balancing on upstream SMTP servers, such that one single greylite instance can be used to filter junk mail for many MDAs. New man pages for modules were written.


Release Notes: Plug-ins are supported for databases. Support for SQLite (default) and PostgreSQL are included. Insertion of a newline character to end the recipient information in the database was fixed.


Release Notes: Control on compliance of commands from the clients is now stricter. This release raises the SQLite tryout, and lowers the log priority for useless DB lock messages.


Release Notes: The "354 go ahead (in reply to RCPT TO command)" bug was fixed when responding to non-suspicious clients at the second delivery attempt.


Release Notes: The STARTTLS SMTP command is now handled explicitly. Logging has been made atomic, fixing possible log mixes in case of high concurrencies. An example file for a tolerant suspicion ruleset has been included in the distribution.
