Since the greylisting went into effect last Wednesday morning, I have not
received a single spam message, either marked or unmarked, through my
mail.msu.edu account. Prior to the change I was getting five or ten per day,
so I would have expected 25 to 50 during those five days.
 
My MSU mail is forwarded to an Exchange server, where Microsoft's IMF
filters out the most obvious spam so it doesn't even reach my mailboxes. I
suspect that without this additional filtering I would still be getting some
spam from my MSU account, but the improvement from the greylisting is still
pretty impressive. (During this period I did get a single spam message
addressed directly to my Exchange mailbox, which of course is unaffected by
the greylisting.)
 
Are others also seeing a dramatic improvement?
