It  would  be  just  great,  if  greylisting software supports different
settings  for  different  servers.  For  example,  we will be able to do
things such as

acl mylist domain /.*\.client\.comcast\.net/

and  then describe the basic settings (greylist, autowhite, timeout) for
all matched servers in "mylist" acl.

By  the  way,  I would also appreciate "blacklist" possibility to reject
sender completely, it will allow to use only one milter software to both
greylisting and filtering. milter-regex is pretty nice, but actually all
its users I khow mainly do rejects by hosts. In contrast to user-defined
acls,  I  believe  that  milter-greylist  is  almost  ready to introduce
"blacklist" acl. The syntax may be quite similar:
acl blacklist addr X.X.X.X
or  even  "acl blacklist default"  if we are going to receive mails only
from several servers.

Best regards,
