When i first installed spamdyke, I used only greylisting. No other blocks with it.
Prior to spamdyke: 40-60 spams a day (my personal account) Post spamdyke: 2 in 6+ months. Now of course your millage may vary based on how you use your account, server setup, etc. But for me on a personal note, it was VERY VERY effective.
