Noel Jones put forth on 12/6/2010 11:10 AM:

If you decide that greylisting is right for you, postgrey is a popular
choice -- it's flexible and reliable.
...
See google for benefits and risks of using greylisting if you're not
familiar with it.

Interestingly, just a few days ago I decommissioned Postgrey on my MX
along with some other A/S countermeasures.  I did this after analyzing
logs for some time.  I ran Postgrey for about a year.  It was stopping
some spam at the beginning, although very little, but none for the last
few months, and was simply slowing down some legit mail.  This is not a
reflection on Postgrey performance or reliability, but simply that my
other A/S countermeasures are killing everything that can be killed
before Postgrey gets a crack at it.

How different the world is:
Postgrey (Greylisting) saved as from using RBLs with aggressive policies, in fact we have ditched all RBLs beside some few very carefully choosen and let Postgrey do its job. Content Filter are not a option at all as silently loosing mail is much worse than spam. For slowing down mail: You should have really used the auto-whitelist. With this we get around 1% mail which is actually delayed after some time.

Andreas
