I never assumed that, infact i know they dont, 90% use internal smtp 
code that rarely uses an isp mail server, read my last post a few mins 
ago,  it clarifies where im coming from :)

Grey listing is not an option on very large carriers networks IMHO.
(and the opinion of many other aussie and yank admins i know who also run 
large customer bases) for some reason it does seem to be an extreme 
facination here though for the weitse patsies who try thrash down our 
throats how much we should all use postfix, they on one list were told to 
STFU or be banned as now deemed as UBE spammers ROFLMFAO

We are happy with RBL'd, bad helos  RFC1912 compliance, greet pause on 
sendmail boxes,  and our internal "F-U" access lists ;)
