I ran stock postgrey in addition to openbsd spamd in front of
mailservers (different servers) for a few years with no syncing
between them. In my experience the MX servers saw different traffic
and syncing wouldn't have prevented much of anything. Maybe your
different, but it's worth noting that in my case the effort wasn't
worth it.

I did take a look at it, built the database for it, read the INSTALL
document very carefully.

I get to step 10.

and I get stuck. Fire WHAT up? there's no way to start the policyd
that I see in the instructions, unless postfix does it somehow. Is
there an rc.d init script? Do I start it manually? And if so, how do I
start it the next time I reboot my machine (scheduled for late 2012 :)?

I'm sure policyd works great, but the INSTALL document is poor (It
doesn't even point out that you have to create the database manually
as the generate .mysql file doesn't have the declaration in it to make
the database itself), and there's no man pages. I do prefer to have a
clear understanding of what I'm doing before I install something.

One might think so, but there's no evidence to support it. Anyway, the
solution is simple

user(a)example.com = Rejected as spam
user+extension(a)example.com = possibly excepted.
