Interface CleanUpRule

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultCleanUpRule, DynamicIPRule, HostNotGivenRule, ManyNumbersRule

public interface CleanUpRule

CleanUpRules compute a date when an greylisting entry should be removed from the database. The time to evaluate the date during program runtime is allowed take some time. It is not time critical to do advanced calculation, as the SMTP host already got a response of greylisting status. See RuleEvaluator on how to integrate your own rules to the program. See de.malowa.suggestions.cleanup for working and usable examples.
