Indeed it does. This remembered me, why I don't like "all-in-one" software
that tries to do everything. I'd rather stick to the rule "one tool for one
job".

Hm... here I wonder what do you exactly mean by reputation. Because for me,
reputation is some numerical value that the software assigns to a particular
sending client, or a particular individual sender, based on various factors
(but necessarily including historical data, ie. previous messages received
from that sender), which is also automatically updated with each new message
from a given sender. If this value exceeds some configured threshold, the
sender is considered "bad", otherwise it is considered "good".

The only mechanism in postscreen that is remotely similar to this is the
possibility to assign different weights to particular RBLs postscreen is
configured to check, and configure some threshold to decide if the client
passes the RBL test or not. For example client being on Spamhaus list can
mean two times more than being on Spamcop list, or vice versa. If we want to
call this reputation, it is rather reputation of RBLs, and not reputation of
the particular client. And it doesn't change over time, based on historical
data - if you want to change weights for RBLs you have to do it manually, so
it doesn't fulfill (my) definition of reputation.

Other than that, postscreen is all-or-nothing: either the connecting client
passes all configured tests, and the connection is passed on to actual
Postfix, or it doesn't pass at least one test and the connection is
rejected. So no reputation here. It's just a more advanced replacement for
greylisting daemons like postgrey.
