I should point out that "typical" greylisting doesn't work well with Gmail, since there is no guarantee that the retries will be performed from the same IP address... in fact, the chances are really high that it's from a different one.

By typical, I mean based on any tuple which includes IP.

I'd argue that greylisting is really mostly once you know a sender is a mail server and implements proper retries.

I don't greylist everything, but if anything is suspicious (missing or invalid rDNS, weird EHLO, etc) I trigger a greylisting, and I've had good luck replacing the IP in a greylist entry with "SPF:PASS" indicator, such that a retry from any other IP that passes SPF is considered the same -- This works for any large sending farm that has valid SPF records.
