Keywords and Variables	Description	Default
capacity <cap_int>	Use this command to set the maximum number of greylist items	varies
	stored in the greylist database. New items causing the greylist
	database to grow larger than the set capacity will overwrite the oldest
	item.
	• <cap_int> is the maximum number of items in the greylist
	database.
	The default value and acceptable range varies by FortiMail model. To
	display the currently set capacity, use the get as greylist
	command.
	To determine the available capacity range for your FortiMail model,
	enter a question mark for the capacity value and execute the
	command.
exempt {add delete}	Use this command to add or delete addresses from the greylist
<address>	exemption list.
	• <address> can be an email address, IP address, a subnet, or a
	domain.
greylistperiod	Use this command to set the length of time the FortiMail unit will	20
<period_int>	continue to reject messages with an unknown to/from/IP. After this
	time expires, any resend attempts will have the to/from/IP data added
	to the greylist and subsequent messages will be delivered
	immediately.
	• <period_int> is the greylisting period in minutes. Acceptable
	values range from 1 to 120 minutes.
initial_expiry_period	Use this command to set the length of time after the initial message	4
<exp_int>	that the FortiMail unit will keep record of a message with an unknown
	to/from/IP. If the mail server resends a message before the initial
	expiry period expires, it will be accepted. If the message is received
	after the initial expiry period, the FortiMail treats the delivery as new
	and rejects the message with a temporary fail.
	Note that both the greylist period and the initial expiry period are
	calculated from the time the first message is received and a
	temporary fail is returned. Consequently, a 20 minute greylist period
	and a 4 hour initial expiry period will result on a 3 hours and 40
	minutes window for delivery of the message to fulfill the greylist
	requirements and be accepted.
	• <exp_int> is the initial expiry period in hours. Acceptable values
	range from 4 to 24 hours.
ttl <ttl_int>	Use this command to set the greylist time-to-live (TTL) value. TTL	10
	determines how long the to/from/IP data will be retained in the
	FortiMail unit’s greylist. When the entry expires, it is removed and
	new messages are again rejected until the sending server attempts
	to deliver the message again.
	• <ttl_int> is the time to live in days. Acceptable values range
	from 1 to 60 days.
