Do you want to whitelist mailing lists coming from there? I didn't whitelist 
apache.org, but I get the lists from there. It passed the SPF-Check.

Not sure, I expect "apache.org" to work for "hermes.apache.org" as well.
However, these *can't* work:
acl whitelist domain /*apache\.org/ 
acl whitelist domain /*apache.org/ 
These are globs, not regexes. Use
acl whitelist domain /.*\.apache\.org/

I have milter-greylist mit libspf2 runing for a week or ten days now. No 
problems at all. Actually it's one of the programs with the shortest learning 
curve and with a very very good cost:benefit ratio.

-L 24 and you can just do this in greylist.conf, no need for command line.

Yes, use libspf2, really!
