I thought that mechanism matches the text "foo.dynip.com" to the base of 
all sending domains.

In the case I'm trying to cover, no email is sent with "foo.dynip.com" 
in it.  That address represents the dynamic IP of my home machine from 
which email is sent using an address of bsmith@....

I want to whitelist email sent from my home machine.

I presume that such a mechanism would need to include a periodic lookup 
of the dynamic IP to refresh the value.  Sort of a

racl whitelist dns foo.dynip.com lookup 3h

I appreciate that milter-greylist might not support this as yet, but is 
that a reasonable syntax or would you suggest something else?
