David, As a mail administrator you get no extra mail with SPAM Arrest - the email challenge goes to the sender!
In anycase surely the modus operandi of greylisting is to bounce in a way that a genuine mail server will send again without human intervention. SPAM ARREST is a much smarter system than Greylisting - I apologise if I didn’t explain this clearly enough. There is a cost - anyone that wants to email to me effectively has to register (unless they were on my original upload list). This takes less than a minute - I hope I am worth it! Regards Peter Please note: due to increasing problems with SPAM, I am using SPAM ARREST - http://www.spamarrest.com/affl?4034505 - a relatively inexpensive service which extends my current email service and prevents automated SPAM attacks by checking with email senders that they are bonefide people needing to communicate with me. If you are not already in my address book and reply to this, you may receive a confirmation email asking you to respond. Once you answer, the email is on the way and will receive my attention. I am evaluating this service and would appreciate any feedback on it. I also have information on the corporate configuration of the service.

I get about 5000 spams per day and probably 20% of it is grey listing bounces. As you might expect I delete them on mass with everything else.
