What's in your maillog file? Here's a snippet of mine:

   Jan 23 04:03:42 ciscy milter-greylist: j0NA3fMc027457: addr 209.132.177.30
from <fedora-list-bounces@...> rcpt <subscribed-lists@...>:
autowhitelisted for more 240:00:00

I get a milter-greylist line for each incoming message.  

Here's  a snipped where the message got greylisted:

Jan 23 04:43:02 ciscy milter-greylist: j0NAh2Pp022062: addr 70.242.142.240
from <tjxtjlcwinp@...> to <Sternsteve@...> delayed for

If you're not seeing these messages, then sendmail is not talking to your
milter. Please post the relevant section of sendmail.mc
