Greylisting can cause callback to tempfail, but the callback scheme
still have some benefits. When you get a permanent failure, I beleive
you have a very strong hint that the sender address is invalid (and thus
that the message should be rejectec)

I spent a lot of time trying to move milter-greylist database to
Berkeley DB, but I finnally gave up. The only goal of the database dump
is to recover after a crash, and I could not get any garantee of having
the database not corrupted after a crash.
