Hi, comparing Spamassassin to greylisting is a bit difficult as the two do completely different things. I suggest adding greylisting to your setup in addition to other filtering measures you may employ. Probably your current configuration employs SA during post-processing but pythonfilter works before new mail gets accepted for delivery. Greylisting simply rejects every incoming message and asks the sender to try again a bit later, SA analyzes the actual content of the message and tries to discern if it contains unsolicited bulk mail. It is also possible to use SA in pythonfilter and completely reject any mail identified as junk instead of just marking it as such but that makes it much more difficult to deal with false positives. Regarding my pythonfilter configuration, I'm not really sure if I did further tweaking but I remember that it wasn't really necessary because it all worked fine out of the box.
