GLST is a Unix and Windows software module that implements SMTP Grey Listing. It is designed to help prevent spam by temporarily rejecting messages from unknown sources.
The GLST module is a great implementation of SMTP Grey Listing, which is available for both Unix and Windows platforms. The module is written in C and utilizes the GDBM database interface to store metadata. The GLST module can be used in conjunction with the XMail MTA, effectively using XMail's SMTP pre-data filter capabilities. The module can also be used with any other existing MTA.
When used with XMail, users can trust in GLST's spool file parsing capabilities to avoid supplying parameters on the command line. The GLST executable is also incredibly small and fast, especially when compared to Perl implementations. This means that the module does not impose any significant requirement on the host running it, making it a convenient choice for users.
Building the GLST binaries only requires two makefiles, one for Unix and one for Windows. To build GLST on Unix, simply run:
$ make -f Makefile.unx
For Windows, run:
C:> nmake -f Makefile.win
After the build process is complete, GLST will produce the GLST binary and two utilities to dump and reload a GDBM database file. The new release of GLST features IPV6 parsing support, the ability to explicitly pass the reject file name, and fixes the --mnet behavior.
In summary, the GLST module is an excellent choice for users looking for a reliable, small, and fast implementation of SMTP Grey Listing. Its compatibility with XMail and any other MTA makes it a flexible option, while its simple build process makes it an easy choice for users of any skill level.
