Greylisting Installation on UNH Mail Gateways - 1/11/06
CIS e-mail administrators have installed "Greylisting" on the UNH mail gateways. This is a new technique that should reduce incoming SPAM and viruses. Although the technology is new at UNH, "Greylisting" has been around for a few years in the outside world, and is a mature and widely-used technique.

For more information on how "Greylisting" works to filter SPAM and other unwanted e-mail message, visit http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/. Information on the actual installed software is described at http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist/.
