Where to?

Blindly whitelisting anyone with SPF is probably a bad thing. There are
a number of spammers that set the SPF record on their 5 day domains to
"v=spf1 +all". I'd want anyone who did that to go through the
greylisting process. There is a DNSWL of hosts around that should skip
greylisting since they are all real mail servers (of varying amount of
spam output)

In regards to what Heiko said about the do_all_perl thing, I think he
wanted you to make a perl file called

/path/do_all_perl

that contained

do '/path/exim.pl'
do '/path/exim-exigrey.pl'

and then only add

perl_startup = do '/path/do_all_perl'

so you only have one perl_startup entry.
