Well the initial stats are in.  This far exceeds anything I could have
hoped for.

2-Jul   4574    15.6
3-Jul   4890    14.5
4-Jul   3293    13.7
5-Jul   2746    14.6
6-Jul   6481    14.9
7-Jul   6208    15.3
8-Jul   3797    15
9-Jul   3162    14.9
10-Jul  3       13.3
11-Jul  4       9

The stats above show the number of spam received each day and the
average scores for those spam assigned by spamassassin.  I implemented
greylisting on Friday.  The number of spam dropped from 3000 to 6000 a
day  to 3 or 4 a day.  And with spamassassin tagging those I think the
problem is well in hand.

Thanks again.  

Now I need to start collecting stats on the greylisting process.  Does
anyone have a set of scripts to do that already?
