While postscreen is no silver bullet, it does a fine job for me. I'd
rather see some spammers connect (doesn't mean their postings go
through) than risk blocking inbound "confirmation token" email which
has become quite prevalent these days. As is usual here, I get assigned
new IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) every 24 hours and hence see many of
these tokens, but your mileage may vary.

Could just be a case of "don't fix what is not broken". I used Postgrey
before postscreen was available and had no technical problems, but it
occasionally required some manual whitelisting.
