Does anybody have an opinion about postgrey? Does it annoy legitimate
users? Slow down the system? Create false positives? Work as intended?
Any other thoughts?
thanks

I love it.
I use that and some dnsRBL's and get ~1 spam a week.
one client was getting ~3000 spam emails a day (to one mailbox)
took that down to ~2 in one hit.
Its been running at their site for ~2 years now and despite their
initial trepidation about emails not being instant I don't think they
even know it exists now, they just don't get spam. I've had more
problems with the dnsRBL's going wonky.
What I would really like to get is a DNS whitelist for Australian providers.
You can do some cool things btw, I replicated the postgrey mysql backend
between my mail servers (along with the mysqldb holding the mail) and it
all worked fine, the occasional server would send to the primary then
bounce to the secondary and get knocked back again but it didn't seem to
bother anything.
I mainly did it to move the database while I was migrating the hosts,
but it seemed cool enough to just leave in place ;->
