Description (last modified by )
On #postfix IRC channel they tell me "postscreen" is a newer approach to reduce spam and does the same as "postgrey" plus more:
zilirc | btw don't mix postgrey with postscreen, they sort-of do the same thing zilirc | I strongly encourage people to use postscreen because it has more features lunaphyte | indeed, traditional greylisting software is not really the way to go, these days. use postscreen

Another thing to add: postgrey (greylisting) is making the mail queue grow and slowing down delivery

Until upgrade, the instructions to setup postscreen that apply for us (running 3.4) are here: https://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_3_5_README.html

The spammer is not subscribed, the list is moderated and still it comes through :(

Markus: list being moderated and mails from non-subscribed still coming through sounds like a bug worth a separate ticket, please file one under the SysAdmin/Mailman category
