Postgrey now listens on port 10023 (rather than 60000), which
brings its behavior closer to the default upstream settings.
Putting 6000 in parentheses should reduce the risk of careless
readers remembering it backwards.

You will need to adjust its configuration (usually in
/etc/postfix/main.cf) accordingly.

Once we start qualifying s/most/many/ it's not really an assumption.
How about trimming it to:
Greylisting is a spam filtering method that rejects email from external
servers on the first try. Spammers don't usually retry sending their
messages, whereas legitimate mail servers do.
