I have set up the greylist policy, exactly according to the postfix
docs, but nothing seems to be getting generated in /var/mta - no
database that is.

When reloading I get this.

postconf: warning: /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter:
greylist_time_limit=3600

However, the documents say to put it in.

# Greylist policy server
#
greypolicy    unix  -       n       n       -       0       spawn
  user=nobody:mail argv=/opt/local/bin/perl
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/greylist.pl
#

and in main.cf

5 /etc/postfix/main.cf [1]:
6     greylist_time_limit [2] = 3600
7     smtpd_recipient_restrictions [3] =
8         ...
9         reject_unauth_destination [4]
10         check_policy_service [5] unix:private/greylist
11         ...
12     # smtpd_policy_service_request_limit [6] = 1

But ok, I remove the greylist_time_limit = 3600 and proceed, but there
is no greylist.db being generated?

Is greylisting a good thing?

I removed greylilsting from my setup, it needlessly slows things down and postscreen does most of the work already. I wouldn't bother setting it up.

 What am I doing wrong?
thanks
