Sites with numerous outbound SMTP servers and non-sticky retry is a known
problem versus greylisting. One reasonable approach is to more or less trust
that the hosts listed in the SPF record for the domains you or your users 
need to interact with are in fact legitimate.

I wrote a short article aboout I chose to do that with the "spf walk" option
to OpenSMTPD's smtpctl:

The commands and script are OpenBSD spamd and OpenSMTPD specific, but I hope
something similar is doable on other platforms. (That said, you could do worse
than putting a greylisting OpenBSD spamd in the signal path on incoming to 
your mail infrastructure).

All the best,
Peter
