Like me. The easy way out of this (which I implemented) is to enable greylisting only for existing users (acl greylist rcpt ...) and have a default whitelist clause (acl whitelist default). Non-existant recipients will be whitelisted immediately by milter-greylist, and sendmail will reject them at once. The "acl greylist rcpt ..." lines for greylist.conf could be generated automatically, but in fact it's not a problem if you do this only from time to time, as for new users it tends to take some time until they collect big amounts of spam. mp.
