Hi Michele,

I installed "greylistd" from the Debian repositories just last week and have 
been VERY happy with the results.  No MySQL database necessary - it creates 
files in /var/lib/greylistd/ (much the same way "milter-greylist" for 
sendmail does).  It's written in Python, so you'll need that installed, and 
runs as a stand-alone daemon.

Here's the debain package:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/greylistd

...and this is as close as I've got to a homepage:
http://slett.net/spam-filtering-for-mx/exim-greylisting.html

Seems Tor Slettnes is the author AND Debian maintainer of greylistd.

The only feature that greylistd is missing (that would be "nice") is 
multiple server synchronisation - like milter-greylist.  But as you're not 
wanting a MySQL database, I'm guessing that level of complexity is not 
required.  Although, I'm sure you could achieve something similar by 
storing the greylistd data files on an NFS share (no idea how it locks the 
files though).

Hope that points you in the right direction :)

James
