Details

The postgrey package depends on postfix being installed. This would make sense if postgrey was only functional with postfix, but it works fine with exim too, so the dependancy is unhelpful if you want to use it with exim.

community/postgrey 1.32-2
a Postfix policy server implementing greylisting

From the PKGBUILD:
depends=('perl-net-server' 'perl>=5.6.0' 'perl-berkeleydb' 'perl-io-multiplex' 'db>=4.1' 'postfix')

# pacman -Q|grep exim
exim 4.69-2
# pacman -S postgrey
