Subject: [devuan-dev] bug#716: hash built-in function in python3 is salted
Package: greylistd
Version: 0.8.8.7
Severity: grave



The hash() function used to hash triplets in python3 has a different
behaviour that the python2 version.

py3 hash() is salted, so the hash it produces for the same input text differs between runs.

That produces two problems in greylistd:
- multiple entries added to the lists
- checks produces different keys

To reproduce:
- start greylistd

- greylist clear
- greylist list --white (verify is empty)
- greylist add --white a.com
- greylist list --white (verify a.com is in wl)
- greylist check a.com (should be white)

- restart greylistd
- greylist list --white (verify a.com is in wl)
- greylist check a.com (returns grey, should be white)

Thank you.
