Ok, I refined it a little. You still have to prequalify the mail, but
once despammed, run it through this to gather friendly addresses:
Note that you must use 'sh' or 'ksh' or the sed line won't work.
# Anybody in the To: or CC: fields of a clean mail gets automatically
# added to the greylist if they are not already there.
SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log
GreyList=$HOME/greylist
# explanation of this stuff: formail extracts fields from the header
# and concantenates multiline headers. sed then strips quoted text
# (realnames), parened text (more realnames) and replaces commas with
# newlines, leaving raw email addresses one per line. It further strips
# <> brackets from email addresses and lastly removes all spaces. This
# raw list of email addresses is compared against the existing greylist
# and any lines not already in the list are appended to the list.
# known problem: when stripping the headers from a mail, multiple entries
# may appear (e.g. when from: and reply-to: are the same).
# todo find better way to eliminate dupes
# todo sort resultant list
