Hi Lucio,

I have found that Greylisting works spectacularly well for my needs.
I have SA as the 2nd line of defense, but it rarely gets called upon to 
declare an email as spam.

Greylisting works because of two things:
1) The SMTP protocol requires SMTP servers to re-try delivery to a 
remote server if they are given a soft error code; and
2) Most spam bots will give up if they receive any error code, and move 
on to another address.

Regards,
Tim Lyth
