We've used greylisting very successfully. Probably stops 80%-90% of the 
spam from even reaching SA.  Several things to be aware of. Greylisting 
will introduce a delay that you have no control over.  So if you require 
your mail to be delivered immediately, it may not work for you. Not all 
mail servers respond properly to the temp error and don't try to resend. 
Some mail servers don't retry for a very long time and your mail can be 
delayed for a very long time. I've seen an 8 hour delay once.  That said, 
our average initial delay is between 5 - 10 minutes, most users don't 
notice it at all. After that, the mail isn't delayed at all.
