I wouldn't greylist local mail. And if people complain about *external* mail, I give them my email-is-only-best-effort speech. > We hear all sorts of shit when things like that happen.

If you regularly exchange mail with known sites and can't afford delays in communicating with them, then tell your systems that you trust them - put them in the greylist exclusion list, add them to the list of sites that can send you executable attachments, and so forth.
