Changes by: beckcvs.openbsd.org 2004/10/05 09:20:30

Modified files:
        libexec/spamd : spamd.8 spamd.c

Log message:
change default to 451 for greylisting, thanks to a number of
people on misc, and some observations by Evan harris on the greylisting
mailing list that a number of clustered mailers like aol behave better
(and retry from the same IP) when they see a 451, but do not when
they see a 450 (traditionally used for mailbox lock failure)

450 was the original for spamd, as the default for the tarpit is to
encourage quick retries to punish blacklisted smtp servers more. This
got carried over to the greylisting implementation, and isnt' really
optimal for that case.

ok millert, henning, todd
