Damn, people are actually watching CVS :)
I haven't checked in the docs yet.

This is what I use:

# Be careful to put numbers between double quotes, or they won't be passed on
loadplugin Greylisting /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm
header GREYLIST_ISWHITE eval:greylisting("( 'dir' => '/var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets'; 'method' => 'dir'; 'greylistsecs' => '1800'; 'dontgreylistthreshold' => 11; 'connectiphdr' => 'X-SA-Exim-Connect-IP'; 'envfromhdr' => 'X-SA-Exim-Mail-From'; 'rcpttohdr' => 'X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To'; 'greylistnullfrom' => 1; 'greylistfourthbyte' => 0 )")
describe GREYLIST_ISWHITE The incoming server has been whitelisted for this receipient and sender
score GREYLIST_ISWHITE  -1.5
# Run SpamAssassin last, after all other rules.
# (lets us not greylist a host that is sending spam, otherwise this rule might
# set a sufficiently negative score that the next spam would be allowed in)
priority GREYLIST_ISWHITE 99999

There is still a -T dependency buglet that I'm working on, which is why I
haven't announced it yet :)
