postfix has a new whitelist feature in 2.11.  A main.cf config like this:

postscreen_greet_action = enforce
postscreen_pipelining_enable = yes
postscreen_pipelining_action = enforce
postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable = yes
postscreen_non_smtp_command_action = enforce
postscreen_bare_newline_enable = yes
postscreen_bare_newline_action = enforce
postscreen_dnsbl_sites = zen.spamhaus.org list.dnswl.org*-1
postscreen_dnsbl_whitelist_threshold = -1

means you're using a blacklist (zen.spamhaus.org), whitelist
(list.dnswl.org), and greylisting everything else.  I'm not getting
spam anymore and I don't think I'm rejecting legitimate mail either.

I was having a problem with the 450 greylisting response causing
permanent bounces with mail servers that don't retry (comcast.net for
example) but the whitelist has fixed it and most mail is delivered a
lot faster since it doesn't have to retry.
