I haven't done gray listing personally, but I've seen good remarks made aobut it here on the list and in other places. From what I've read it seems to be very effective in stopping spam by itself (without spamassassin, et. al.) I've contemplated implementing it here but the idea of any sort of delay in mail being delivered doesn't sit well with the people who ultimately make the call in what I can and can't do for reducing spam so we're stuck with spamaassassin. There are some good sites out there that cover gray listing and the ins and outs of it. I suggest you do some reading about it before hand so you can make an informed decision on going that route. J.P.
