What Steve may really be asking, is if a tuplet has already been greylisted
and the delay is in effect, can he then whitelist that tuplet (either via
smtp, ip, from or to) immediately?

I understand why this also won't work, because even if he does make a config
change (and the greylist.conf is reloaded automatically - I think it checks
every minute or so?), the sending smtp server still needs to try again before
the greylist server will detect the tuplet in the whitelist and allow it through.
