I would prefer if milter-greylist supported them natively,
because I don't want to run a webserver.  It would be just
another (potential) point of failure, and I think it would
make the whole system less robust.  Therefore the urlcheck
interface is useless for me.

Well, I don't like either of them.  :-)  I would prefer C,
Ocaml or Python (in fact I've written a milter in Python
recently, for syncing valid users on backup MX servers).

Best regards
