Don't have an answer for you about the milter, but when I was setting up our greylist I monitored the logs for a few days to find what domains our company communicated with on a regular basis and whitelisted them.  This took care of the delay problem for the most part, I still get the occasional complaint from someone whose mail was delayed, but those are few and very far between.
