I'm starting a new topic here.

Thanks to those beta testing this wcGreyList system.

o In Wildcat! We Trust!

For now, to build your confidence in the system, you will want to keep an
eye to make sure you don't get lost mail, meaning a GOOD pending message
never gets a RETRY again from the original sender. In general, a system
will retry within 1 hour or less. But as you learn to trust it and let it
do its thing, you will see that it really does work! Your spam will be reduced drastically! In others, don't end up sitting there like I did in
the beginning wondering why the other
GOOD system was taking so long to retry. If its good, it will. :-)

o Changing your own WCSMTP Retry Frequencies:

Now, how about other systems greylisting you?

By defauilt, WcSMTP has a 1 hour retry. You can change this frequency in
SMTP setup.

However, in preparation of this, I wanted to offer a variable frequency
retry feature, like 5 mins, 10 munutes for the first few tries, and fall
back to 1 hour retries. See the AUP 451.7 help where we introduced the new optional file DATA\WCSMTP.INI where you an define a [Attempts] section.
This will override the SMTP setup. This is what it recommends:

[Attempts]
Default=60
Attempt1=5
Attempt2=5
Attempt3=15
Attempt4=60

o Web Folder Security:

I need you to make sure to no one has access to the your \services\avs URL folder, but you. So double check that. HTML-WCGREYLIST.WCX web-based manager will only run for the MASTER SYSOP, but to control access to the
folder itself, the .WCTACCESS file in the folder is setup for the "administrator" security.

So check normal users access is disallowed. No clue should be provided. It should be like "NO PAGE FOUND" type of error.

Thanks

Note, I updated the WCGL100B.ZIP file on the BBS with the comments and
changes pointed out by the beta testers.

- Cleaned up readme

- Added a missing utility HTML-MYVIEWLOG.WCX that is used
to view the blocked pending message.

Thanks

I saw where the reference for the poll.gif was not working in the wgreylist.htm

To resolve, I updated the path to:
var graphimageP="/services/avs/poll.gif"


I tried to post this on the antispam list, but think I posted it wrong.

Yes I saw the original post. :-)

This was corrected for my new zip (not posted yet). There were other
similar URL also corrected.

Thanks
