I haven&#8217;t gathered quite the right information to provide full statistics on this, but I do have a record of the number of messages making it through to me directly: in January to April, prior to greylisting, I was receiving approximately 12000 messages per month; so far, in June, it has been less than 400.  Given that the huge majority of the messages I get are junk, this is a big difference.  It means that I can let all messages which pass the greylisting test directly into my inbox: most of them are junk, but it is a sufficiently small number (a dozen or so per day) that this is manageable.  And it helps avoid getting the legitimate messages stuck in a Junk folder.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the advice people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from the advice in my previous post, I set up greylisting on my server.
