Evan Harris proof-of-concept implementation relaydelay
(http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/), from which I switched to
milter-greylist from, has this feature. It did not seem to let a lot of
spam through, but surely some will slip in. My users are more concerned
about getting mail late or not at all due to braindead MTA's out there
than about if they get an occasional spam.

Cheers,
