greylisting?
I have been asked to look at implementing greylisting. I found a couple
of references in the list and few items on the web such as
http://projects.puremagic.com that discuss greylisting.
Has this been effective in blocking spam? Any pointers on implementing
this using sendmail?

I don't use greylisting myself, but the page below is where you can find
a milter that should let you do it (I use another of the author's
milters). A new version is going to be released shortly I think too.

Thanks for everyone that responded. I now need to spend some time
digesting the information and testing the recommended packages.
And thanks for pointing out several caveats to implementing this.
Hopefully that will make this implementation much smoother.

You'll be amazed at how much Spam is eliminated. I used to get 80-100
spams per day with a few that slipped by SA, now I get maybe 2 or 3 per day
and not a single false negative. I use milter-greylist available at
http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist/ another milter that I ran across is
milter-gris available at http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-gris/ Just
make sure sendmail is compiled with the Milter option, add a couple of
lines to your .mc file and fire up the milter. Just make sure you
whitelist your own hosts, as well as any trusted hosts so that they aren't
unnecessarily delayed.
