Please excuse my being annoying and ignorant, but how does it do that?

Can it actually tell the sending mta that it is accepting some of the 
recipients and greylisting others? Otherwise, it would seem that when 
the message was resent, it would end up allowing duplicate deliveries to 
those who had received it already, unless it is tracking a lot more 
information than I was aware of, which would seem to be wasteful.
