But what's the use for greylisting after the data stage?  Why not only
accept or refuse (and perhaps temporarily black/whitelist the triplet)?
After the data stage, you have seen the whole email, you can make
intelligent decisions.  As I see it (and please tell me if I am wrong),
greylisting after the data phase wins you nothing, but wastes bandwidth
and other resources (yours!).
