/etc/postgrey/whitelist_clients gettings overwritten #1637

Open fmonts opened 5 years ago

Since the 0.43 update, the postgrey whitelist_clients config file is getting overwritten daily with the default version.

How can we avoid it, or set custom exclusions in another way?

This was changed to always be in-line with the upstream list. The code should only be run after 28 days. Not sure why that would run every night on your box. Are you copying and old file in place?

If you want this configurable (like I did) you will need to make changes to the repo. Only do this if you are comfortable maintaining your own fork!

I did so here: https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/blob/master/setup/mail-postfix.sh#L229

I maintain my own list and concat it to the repo list. Alternatively you could disable the cron job by moving the cron file after each upgrade of miab.

With the #1675 fix, you should be able to maintain custom exclusions in /etc/postgrey/whitelist_clients.local.
