CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records. This warning is not relevant on AlmaLinux OS 8 or CentOS 7 servers because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records.On servers that run the AlmaLinux OS 8 or CentOS 7 operating systems, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS. It allows mail exchangers to verify whether a received mail came from a host authorized by that domain’s administrators. Whether the system automatically accepts email from hosts with a valid sender policy framework (SPF). This time begins when the server receives the first email from an unknown IP address.īypass Greylisting for Hosts with Valid SPF Records The number of minutes before Greylisting deletes the triplet record and treats a resent email as though it comes from a new, unknown triplet. This time begins when the server receives the first email from an unknown IP address. The number of minutes during which Greylisting accepts a resent email from an unknown triplet. The number of minutes during which Greylisting defers email from an unknown triplet. The following table contains descriptions and values for the Configuration Settings section: Configuration setting To use Greylisting, perform the following steps:Įnter the desired values for each setting, or keep the default values. The Configuration Settings tab allows you to specify the Greylisting parameters. Click the toggle to change it to On and enable Greylisting. If Greylisting is disabled on the server, this interface only displays an On/Off toggle. By deferring unknown triplets, Greylisting filters spam and allows legitimate email a second chance to pass through.īefore you can access the Greylisting Configuration Settings, Trusted Hosts, and Reports sections of the interface, you must click on/off to enable the Greylisting feature.

A triplet is a collection of three pieces of data: the IP address, the sender’s address, and the recipient’s address. Greylisting identifies incoming email by triplets. After sufficient time passes, the server accepts the email. If the email is legitimate, the originating server tries to send it again after a delay. When enabled, the mail server will temporarily reject any email from a sender that the server does not recognize. This interface allows you to configure Greylisting, a service that protects your server against unwanted email or spam.
