Indeed, the current Alioth config only greylists those hosts that have
some kind of 'problem', like no reverse DNS entry or are featured on
some kind of RBL.

Any decent mailserver is allowed right through. Any indecent mailserver
is told to wait just a little bit, but is still allowed to send its
mail.

That's not really relevant: if we can block spam now, we should do it
now. Sure, we still need to be looking for new measures for when
greylisting stops to work, but that doesn't exclude using it now in any
way.
