Hi Mikkel, IMO Postgrey and Postscreen are quite similar. I believe you should go for one of them in order to have one more layer of functionality against spammers in your server.
Look carefully to the documentation for Postscreen, specially the "Introduction" and "The basic idea behind postscreen". May be your opinion will change after that.
