howto: install postgrey greylisting on ubuntu

if you run your own mail server you know that spam filtering sucks. i’ve been using a method called greylisting for years and have had pretty good results with it.

greylisting will temporary block an unknown mail server from delivering a message to your server by sending a “try later” response. since most spam servers are presummed to not be setup correctly, it is thought that they will not try again. when a properly setup mailserver resends the message, it will then be delivered.
