I am a bit confused on this too. I think you have misread the problem.

The GUI shows three boxes under 'Milter Greylist Configuration':
Whitelisted Senders
Whitelisted Email Recipients
Whitelisted Recipient Domains

Entries in the first two work fine but putting domains in the last doesn't. The mail still gets greylisted.
I am just putting in the domain name as per the help (so domain.com - not @domain.com etc.)

All three boxes write correctly to the greylist.conf milter configuration file:

# List of domains that DO NOT want greylisting:
list "nongrey domains" domain { \
       domain.co.uk \
       bbc.co.uk \
       domain.com \
}

# And here is the access list:
racl whitelist list "my_network"
racl whitelist list "broken_mta"
racl whitelist list "greylist_extra"
racl whitelist list "nongrey users"
racl whitelist list "nongrey domains"

So the milter is not using the access list for domains.

>From the greylist milter docs:

domain This  clause  selects  source  machines based on their DNS name,
              performing a suffix search.  For instance, this  will  whitelist
              any machine in the example.net domain:

                racl whitelist domain example.net

              Suffix  search  matching   means, for example, that gle.com will
              match google.com. If you want domain names to match on subdomain
              boundaries  (e.g.   gle.com  will match mail.gle.com and gle.com
              but not google.com) then enable domainexact

So why is this not working?
