greylisting implementation for Postfix

A policy server for Postfix implementing greylisting.

Greylisting means that you reject email from a server on the first try, using the fact that most spammers do not retry to send their email, whereas almost all normal mail servers do.

While Postgrey is designed for the use with Postfix, it can also be used with Exim.
