Oh, I agree it wouldn't scale to a large installation, at least not as 
currently implemented.  But the greylisting arrangement I have covers 
about 80 users, with perhaps 4000-5000 or so messages a day.  

It's worth mentioning that the CPU hit from greylisting is a lot less
than anything which inspects the message bodies (eg
spamassassin/bogofilter), to say nothing for the hit that a virus
scanner causes.
