Well, this is just a limitation in milter-greylist: you could
do greylisting at DATA stage, but you would loose the abilitiy to
treat multiple recipients differently. And you would have to 
decide what to do with the following scenario:

First attempt: IP from A,B to D	
	-> tempfail, (IP, A, D) and (IP, B, D) are added to the greylist
Second attempt: IP from B,C to D	
	-> you should let B get through, but you should reject C ...
