Sounds a bit too excessive. :) I think rcptcount, counting the number
of RCPT statements, whether successful or not, should be quite enough.
These "ircount" statements are not saying much by themselves, and More
is Less (tm), so I'd rather prefer an 'rcptcount' keyword with the
obvious semantics that is not meaningless for greylisting.
