At first I was wondering how greylisting helped you using fetchmail but
I take it that the few that got through came through a different path.

Your results mirror mine very closely.  In my case the site went from
3000 to 8000 spam a day down to 5 or 10 spam a day.  And the server
stopped choking on itself trying to process all those messages.

Just need to get all the mail servers running greylisting.....  :)
