I was going to look at DSPAM, or possibly CRM114.

I use greylisting and it is a pain. Particularly when (large)
providers try sending from IP-address A, then IP-address B, ... (time
passes) then IP-address A again (now accepted!)
I've been quite suprised - I would have thought that with the
popularity of greylisting they would:
a) drop the repeat time down
b) not do round-robin sending like that

I used to use exim with mailscanner and was pretty happy with it.
IIRC I had to be careful with the exim crontab (and duplicate bits to
remove old files). I'm not a big amavis fan - it seems quite poorly
documented IMO.
