The smtpd has a 'sleep 3' at the start of it. Might this have been the

Unconditional "sleep<n>" applied even to servers that repeatedly pass
the test damages email infrastructure (by forcing legitimate servers
to expand substantially more resources, and delaying their email to
other destinations). Please don't do this. Consider upgrading to Postfix
2.8 and deploying postscreen(8) which remembers which servers pass the
test.
Valid point. I have removed the sleep condition and shall see how much
extra spam is received. I shall upgrade to 2.8 and postscreen when its
available as a Debian package.
Debian won't have 2.8 in stable until at least 2013, although you may be
able to get it as a backport later this year:

They lag behind something awful.
