Why waste bandwidth, cpu, ram etc for spammers instead of rejecting them 
in first attempt (MTA)? Ok, You give them longer greylisting period. How 
many who did pass, it was not sending spam? Yes milter-greylist is much 
easier to config, but this doesn't actually mean, that You have to 
config it all the time:).

And btw, if milter-greylist dies (it happens sometimes) and You are away 
from computer for long time, all spam passes true?
