greylisting implemented

["Scot L. Harris" <we...@cfl.rr.com>]

I wanted to thank everyone for the information provided regarding
greylisting.

I implemented greylisting this morning on the production server.  I have
to say I am amazed at the results.  We were receiving close to 200 spam
messages an hour previously.  At this point I don't think we have had
any spam messages get through.  Will have better stats later today
hopefully.

The combination of greylisting and spamassassin appears to be a very
effective tool in solving this problem.  

Now I have two tasks remaining, process received email and generate a
whitelist for legit senders, and write some scripts to collect stats on
messages delayed vs. messages ultimately accepted.

Again thanks for the information everyone.
