So far so good..  I've only recently managed to put this in a testing box.
I've enabled the "discrimination_add_rulenr" option to get an idea of how
effective the rules are..  which brings me to this question:

When more than one rules match (which is likely), which one gets displayed
in the logs?  Does the last one that matches gets displayed, or does
processing stop as soon as the first rule from the top of the "
discrimination.regexp" file raises a "greylist this" flag?

I quite like the idea of this feature..  especially that you can check for
fqdn-ness and so forth, because postfix itself is quite black&white with
those checks.  I have come across some legit web-based smtp clients and
other that are just poorly configured, and they're so far removed from
normal administrator access that it is impossible to expect them to get
fixed.  And maintaining any kind of exemption list for poor quality clients
is such a drag.

cheers,
