ummm those figures are strange, you have 12-15% of clean mail accepting 
all, but yet 75-80% on all accepted with greylisting.. that doesnt 
compute, if it is true your SA rules need a major cleanup, else SA would 
have got it in first place

the vast majority of failed attempts come from no PTR's and those that 
dont have them, tends to indicate lazy network admins so i wouldnt expect 
them to take action on spammers either, I simply whitelisted .gov.au
in sendmail and qmail and alls been happy since, AOL also still do this i 
understand, so the collateral damage cant be all that bad if tehy still do 
it :)
