I'm hoping someone can help me by answering a couple of questions
regarding spamd.  Ultimately, I'm wanting to know if the spamd setup
I'm envisioning is possible.  I'll explain the situation.

To begin, we attempted a typical setup of spamd in greylisting mode on
our firewall in front of our MX.  This worked great and was catching
lots of spam, for around 48 hours.  During this time, we (IT Dept.)
got several complaints about delayed delivery of emails from our
clients.  This was mostly due to impatient recipients within our
organization.  However, as a result, we were told, by executive order,
to shut down the greylisting.  Apparently the greylisting, in doing
what it's supposed to do, was "disrupting time-sensitive email".
Nevermind that we were white-listing these senders as we were made
aware of them.

So, this brings me to my set-up inquiry.  We do receive lots of
delivery attempts to non-existent addresses in our domain and the
greytrapping feature of spamd was especially handy for blocking sites
attempting to deliver to these non-existent addresses.  I would like to
be able to take advantage of this feature of spamd, along with the
"blacklist" features, while not delaying email to non spamtrapped
addresses.

>From my understanding of the interaction between spamd and pf, this
either isn't possible or is non-trivial.  However, I figured I would
see if anyone has done a similar set-up or knows of a way to implement
this.  Thanks.
