I recently switched to policyd from tumgreyspf hoping I'd find a  
solution to one of the more annoying challenges of greylisting in  
general. Policyd doesn't yet support what I'm hoping to find, but  
maybe someone knows of a clever solution to a problem we all face.

Scenario: you send a message to someone at a domain that has never  
contacted you in the past, and no grey/whitelist entry exists for  
them on your mail server. They receive your message quickly, reply  
immediately, but despite being from someone with whom you know you  
want to communicate, their message is relegated to going through the  
normal greylisting process. Generally this doesn't add significant  
delay, but sometimes it does, and sometimes even a reasonably short  
delay is more than it should be.

I'd love to see a solution where recipients of outbound messages  
could have some combination of the server(s) MX'd for their domain -  
or in policyd fashion, a configurable number of quads of that/those  
server's IP addresses - automatically greylisted/whitelisted? Maybe  
you go simple and only use the address of the server that actually  
receives the message as the basis for auto(g/w)listing, or maybe you  
expand all available MX or A records for the RHS of the address.

Has anyone played with this idea?

Thanks.
