Thanks, I'll have a read through and see how it would fit with my plans.

Yes, I've read that too. I couldn't find any page dedicated to
greylistd, so there doesn't even look to be anything for somebody to
pick up easily. I wasn't entirely sure how well postgrey adapted to
Exim, but I've not read it thoroughly. It seemed to be a case of getting
Exim to provide the information that Postfix would normally do, but I'm
not sure how clean a hack that was.

I'll let you know if I can't fathom some of it. I keep thinking about
getting the Exim book, but I've got so many books that I only refer to
occasionally that I've not taken the plunge yet. I bought the O'Reilly
Sendmail, DNS & Bind and Backup & Recovery about 10 years ago that are
still in pristine condition - although I tend to be very careful with my
books :) I bought them when I took over administrating some AIX based
RS6000 boxes based on the fact that I had started using Linux.
