That's an interesting idea, once a server has proven it's going to queue up the messages, it most likely will always do so, so greylisting it further only delays any other email as it will eventually get through anyway. My very first reaction when I read this was "no way", but after I started thinking about how to respond and wanting to explain why it's a bad idea, I realized it's not such a bad idea after all.
