This test is either unimplemented at present or is implemented
incorrectly.  I don't use greylisting because of the collateral
damage of this type.

Yes, I understand the desire to reduce spam levels, since that
is a constant battle that I have to wage as well.  But I will
always whine when what I consider ill-conceived attempts to do
that result in my email being delayed or rejected.  This is one
of those whines.
