greylisted hosts.

First of all, it's not clear to me that more than a few percent of SMTP
servers will ever implement greylisting, so I don't think that's much
of a danger.

Secondly, the whole point behind honeypots is that they should appear to
be "real", so if greylisting *does* become widespread, honeypots will
simply implement greylisting too.
