My concern with greylisting was that the spammers would catch up and start
implementing queueing in their zombies. I have, though, observed that
sometimes DNS blacklists are quick enough even in cases where a spammer
*does* try a second time. So I hope with dnsrbls becoming more
sophisticated - for instance by combining multiple data inputs like dcc,
the spammers won't really be able to catch up.
And I don't really worry about spammers starting to use ISP mailservers to a
great extent - too many people would start to block these (as I am starting
to block hotmails outgoing mailservers as I receive quite a lot spam from
there currently.)
