Well, there is nothing exciting here:
 
On each MX, I have /etc/mail/greylist.conf.local that contains the peer
statements

The script that pushes the new configuration does that:

MX="mx1.example.net mx2.example.net mx3.example.net"
for m in $MX ; do 
        scp greylist.conf $m:/etc/mail/
        ssh $m cat /etc/mail/greylist.conf.local \
                >> /etc/mail/greylist.conf
done

And everything is done with RSA keys so that it won't ask a password.
You can do it with an unprivilegied account, it just needs to have a
write right on /etc/mail/greylist.conf on each MX server.
