bill:

sounds good. one problem as you point out the list's are
based on tuples and it's concievable some users for a
domain (or ip) might be greylisted and others white.

and conversely for example i have seen 3 entries for the
same user/domain because their isp had 3 different outbound
smtp servers (causing me to get multiple copies of the same
-e).

the problem is of course simplified [a little] if one uses
-L or lazyaw modes.

as you say though it might better be a parsing problem for
perl (php)
