It wouldn't even need to be much, just respond

421 4.2.x [retry:300s] connection refused for now. Try again later

it wouldn't interfere with MTAs which don't understand it, and would give a hint to those which do.

FWIW, Here are some forms of apparent GL responses with hints I have collected:

421 This server implements greylisting, please try again in # seconds
450 4.7.1 <RCPT>: Recipient address rejected: Greylisted for # minutes
450 4.7.1 <RCPT>: Recipient address rejected: Greylisted for # seconds
451 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come back in HH:MM:SS
451 Greylisted for # seconds
451 Greylisted, please try again in # seconds
451 Greylisting enabled, try again in # minutes
