                                     Work

Work continues on the graylist program [1]. I'm working on the Postfix [2]
interface for my own domain, and Smirk just mentioned a domain we can use to
test the Sendmail [3] interface. Smirk's domain is perfect for testing
because

 1. it's been around for twelve years;
 2. it was a heavily used domain (in terms of email) up to around the turn
    of the century;
 3. it's not currently used for anything.

So the domain in question gets nothing but 100% spam (and a lot of it,
according to Smirk)—perfect for testing the filtering capability of a
graylist.
