We use sa-exim for greylisting.  It allows thresholds for when to
greylist.  For example, we greylist email that score between 3.0 and
10.0.  That way if an email is ham it will notice no delay in making it
to the recipient and if it is very much spam it will just be dropped
without wasting resources.

We have had very dramatic drops in spam getting through by greylisting.
I'd say about 90% of email scored between 3 and 10 is never resent.

I believe MD has very similar abilities to sa-exim.

Subject: Semi OT - Anyone doing greylisting?





Just curious if anyone is doing any greylisting on their systems?  If
so,
have you noticed a dramatic decline in the amount of spam that gets
through
to SA?  Sounds like an interseting concept that I'm thinking of trying
out,
but thought I'd see if anyone had any comments about it first.

Thanks
Andy
