No, it doesn't.   But history shows that spammers have adapted to a
wide variety of spam countermeasures.   What is it about greylisting
that makes it unlikely that they'll adapt to it?

It requires increased long-term storage and a retry scheduler.  Not hard to 
implement, to be sure, but it becomes a little tougher to remain undetected and 
leave no footprint on an infected system.
