I'm running sendmail here on a home server. I've been looking for a good greylist package and I frankly have not found one. There are a couple out there but they work in memory and don't maintain their tables in a database.

My greylist code <http://whatever.frukt.org/mimedefangfilter.text.shtml> using the 
milter MIMEDefang <http://www.mimedefang.org/> keeps the tables in a SQLite database 
(wich means it shouldn't be too hard porting to a server based SQL database).

I'm also running spamass-milter which is set to reject mail ifd SA says it's spam. Is it worthwhile to try to convince the SA dev crowd to add greylist functionality?

One of the key benefits of "normal" greylisting is that it you don't need to 
call SpamAssassin, anti virus stuff, etc, at all for the messages that never makes it 
through a SMTP level grey list.

Also, SpamAssassin cannot itself refuse to accept a mail, so the SMTP software 
still has to be involved for grey listing to work.
