I agree. We talk about delaying a message for a couple of hours, not 
about dropping it. Probably I'm not aware of all situations in which a 
null sender message is sent, but frankly I cannot think of a situation 
where a well-behaved MTA would send one to multiple recipients?!

Wouldn't a legetimate null sender message almost always have one 
recipient only since it is an error message to a single sender of 
another message?

The patch will make milter-greylist to tempfail if any of the recipients 
is not white listed.
