Wow, you started using it 15 months before I wrote version 1.0!

You can delay milter-greylist decision until the DATA stage, which is
not recipient-specific: the delayedreject option does that for messages
from <>, but you can patch the milter to do it for all messages.

the logic is roughly the following:
for stage in (connect, hello, from, rcpt, data, eom)
	for milter in (configured milters)
		call handler $stage of $milter

So milter execution is interleaved.
