Care to elaborate what exactly that does Ugo?

Unless delays are introduced, there's no way of knowing if a particular sending
IP ever retries, so there's nothing to populate with.

Perhaps this has to do with greylists that pre-emptively auto-whitelists based
on outbound mail? (milter-greylist doesn't do this AFAIK) For systems with that
feature the monitor-only state would make a lot of sense.
