I also use and recommend policyd-weight. I set $REJECTLEVEL
= 4.24;
which is fairly conservative, but policyd-weight still
rejects 75% of
the mail that ends up getting rejected, with an overall
rejection rate
that varies between 65% and 85%. I have a secondary MX (not
round-robin) in place that acts primarily as a spam
rejection point.
I run policyd-weight, postgrey, and a couple RBLs on that
machine, and get
a 98% rejection rate. I only greylist for 50 seconds. The
few messages
that make it through get hit by amavisd-new using FuzzyOCR,
ImageInfo,
p0f, and the latest SA rules via sa-update. Having this
secondary MX in
place lessens the load on the primary MX by 40%. And yes, if
my
primary MX is down, legitimate mail will still make it
through the
secondary - but I like to be considerably more conservative
on the
primary.
