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.
