Could you provide any information, preferably benchmarks, that show that spamd does the job better or does it using less resources? I'm not able to find any facts to support this assertion if Postfix is already running as your MTA.
Postfix does do greylisting. See postfix/examples/smtpd-policy/greylist.pl However, I would recommend the <a href="http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/" title="schweikert.ch">Postgrey</a schweikert.ch> policy server module instead. It is more refined and has some more functionality than the example that comes with postfix.
My lack of understanding with spamd is that if I am already running Postfix and it does its job as well as all of the functions of spamd(at least the ones described in the article), why do I need spamd at all?
