Exactly, what I smelled...

I hear, there's mime-defang for doing this sort of stuff.
Anyone used it?

I rather see the problem here:

Currently milter-greylist can only delay mails, but never "kill" them.
That's good after all.
Adding the possiblity of blacklisting opens it up to "Hey! Was it
milter-greylist, which killed my valid mail?!". Now you can simply say
"No, there's no way for it to permanently reject mail. it will only
temporarilry reject it. And you should have gotten a warning, if it
did so for too long."
