I'm using Postgrey for now, Sqlgrey is not installed... would you 
recommend Sqlgrey over postgrey?

I suppose the second line in your maillog above (where it says 
"Greylisted for 1 minutes") is generated by Postfix (not Postgrey) and 
I should be seeing this? If so, I'm definitely not getting that...
