There is a configuration option that allows you to use SPF during the SMTP
conversation. I use that setting and it then tests SPF before the
greylisting.

Thanks.  I guess their web site could be clearer then.

If that works for you, that's great, but generally speaking, SPF is a pretty
heavyweight test.  I'm not sure where in the scheme of things you are doing
this, but it's not generally adviseable to do SPF checks until after RCPT
TO: and you've validated RCPT TO:.  Doing SPF up front may work for you, but
in many cases it's had a negative effect on performance.
