I'll be sure to check into Postgrey.
Are there any special considerations to installing/configuring it or
is it simply a matter of installing, reading the docs and configuring?
The biggest consideration is not technical, it's managing the expectations
of your users.
You will need to educate your users that email is *not* instant messaging.
You will probably want to put a little effort into maintaining lists of
regular correspondents who can bypass greylisting. There may be tools to
automate that, e.g. to whitelist someone a local user has sent mail to.
Some users are extremely allergic to any delays in their email; you may
have to maintain a list of exception destination addresses to keep them
happy, or for addresses where no delay is acceptable, e.g. <support@...>
or <sales@...>
