Well, I know any bit of credibility I may have is about to disappear
quickly :), but I have to agree totally with Greg on this one.
Personally, I always found greylisting more hassle than just running, as
I do now, a sane set of restrictions which eliminate on other criteria. If
the mail does make it into the system, the opportunity is then there to
reinforce and update the restrictions.
