Yes, but that is not at all "the same result" as running sendmail with the 
milter-greylist all night.

In fact, I'm not sure if you are making a joke with me and being sarcastic or 
I'm just missing something.  Isn't your suggestion basically not using the 
greylist EVER?  You are suggesting sendmail during the day without the 
greylist and nothing at night.  So -- when would I be using the greylist at all?
