Yes, we have Greylisting+RBL+FcrDNS in front, but full Amavis/SA with
Bayes is Post-Queue at the moment. It detects (and tags) a lot of spam
that got through the first line of defense, but as far as we know we are
not allowed to automatically drop anything based on that tagging. Only
the user may opt-in to do so. So all those mails have to be forwarded.

We are working on migration to Pre-Queue.

Okay, I will have a look at SRS.
