Spam Filtering

I have found that giving greylisting a fairly short retry minimum (~5
minutes) and a long whitelist period (~6 months) minimizes the
end-user complaints- but in circumstances where users deal with many
infrequent correspondents it may not not be worth the effort.

We use amavis/spamassasin/clamAV for our gateway. We are using the
openprotect.com rules channel for rules with a great amount of
success.

We are also using postgrey to do greylisting of emails but that is not
as effective anymore, creates more complaints about delaying mail than
stopping SPAM.
