• Bug#267314: greylistd: [docs] whitelist-hosts syntax in not explained a

    Package: greylistd
    Version: 0.5.3
    Severity: normal

    An exmaple file /usr/share/doc/greylistd/examples/whitelist-hosts is
    provided but there seems not to be any explanation what are the
    allowed syntaxes. Fromt he examples provided it is not clear if the
    syntax allow regular expression AND shell wild cards?

    *.debian.org
    *.amazon.com
    ^..crm[hx]c..\.comcast\.net
    10.0.0.0/8

    These two look like shell-like match expressions, wherea's third suggests regular expressions, and last CIDR. What should be matched with this:

    *host.com

    (anything that ends to that), or should bit be written like regular
    expression

    .*host.com

    or plain

    host.com

    ... which could mean "exactly host.com"? This is puzzling.
