Why not, a new feature that cannot harm. But I think there should be a
noaccessdb configuration option to switch it off, like we have for SPF
and SMTP auth.

It seems that the sendmail DB will allow very flexible things, and it
will be hard to support all of them in milter-greylist config file, so
that should probably not be a goal.

That seems highly desirable, but it seems to me that we can do that
later: no need to delay the access DB support for that.
