Yes, greylisting kills over 97% of spam. OpenBSD's spamd runs on a variety of BSDs. There's a pile of greylisting daemons/proxies/scripts, which might be adapted. Otherwise, if you've a spare static IP address or 2:- Nolisting cuts almost as much of the zombie powered crap as greylisting: http://nolisting.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolisting Highlisting cuts out more of the crap too: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/OtherTricks http://antispamkill.blogspot.co.uk/2007/07/fake-mx-records.html This is a free offsite highlisting service: http://wiki.junkemailfilter.com/index.php/Project_tarbaby Writing with 15 years public mail server experience (incl working at a national ISP, before Gmail existed), with these simple techniques, for a hobbyist domain, it is unlikely you'll need heavy weight spam engines. With so many people to spam, & so many gadgets to infect, the zombie authors don't really adapt, nor follow RFCs. They seem to concentrate on raping address books.
