Let me think about it.

If greylisting is enabled as usual:

When a "foreign" user sends a message to a local user is greylisted, then:

1.- It's created an entry in the greylisting database.
2.- It's blocked and each retry is blocked also at least for
graylist-min-secs seconds.
3.- No further tests are passed. Session is closed.

When graylist-min-secs time passes:

1.- The message passes greylist filter and touches the file.
2.- The message is tested against other filters.


Ok,

What i'm trying to accomplish:

When a user "foreign" a message to a local then:

1.- The message passes greylist filter and touches the file.
2.- The message is tested against other filters.


That will populate the database, that is what i want before putting graylist
at work.

Sorry, perhaps  I'm missing something.

Best regards.
