Milter-greylist

I had this long, detailed email. I decided to shorten it. :)

Get rid of pop before smtp.

Weve used the hack described in that link for several months now and have had

outmoded authentication method. Saying it is of course, easier than doing it, 
but I would definitely recommend giving it a shot.
