Here's something I'm testing out - greylisting based on server load levels:

I use a different strategy - not greylisting - and it seems to work.
My load problems are normally caused by spamassassin and as I only
scan incoming mail I do the following:

smtp_reserve_hosts = 146.232.0.0/16 # (our internal network)

smtp_load_reserve = 10

Which causes the system to issue a temporary error to incoming mail
until the load average drops to 10 or lower.

I use that too on higher load levels - but I figure why not cut the load in the short run by temporilly deferring mail that is probably spam forst allowing the ham to be processed.
