This new function isn't the same thing.  Session Delaying sends a 451
4.7.1 to the connecting server, instructing it to retry later.  Greeting
Delaying causes ASSP to prevent the SMTP greeting from being sent to the
connecting server for a specified amount of time.

Session Delaying is useful because spambot/zombies will most likely not
retry later.  A true MTA will.

Greeting Delaying is useful because spambot/zombies will most likely not
wait to receive the SMTP greeting before issuing commands.  A true MTA
will.  If an SMTP connection starts issuing commands prior to receiving
the SMTP greeting, that it is highly likely it is a scripted processes
and not a true MTA.
