I appreciate any insight that > people can offer. I like the policyd-weight postfix filter... it sums up a score based on several conditions that you can set (dnsbl, bad smtp protocol, etc.) caches, results for those that hit you constantly, etc. I probably get 2-3 spam a day max. Used to get 30-40. And it does it all before accepting the message body which is nice. You can also tell it just to put in a x-header with a score and pass it along untouched so users can do what they want using that info. http://www.policyd-weight.org/
