Or even simply send spam unconditionally twice or thrice just to be sure to get through the greylist.
It just needs knowledge how fast you have to give the same combination of envelope-addresses to the same zombie again. And THIS would explain why I get lots of spams more than once, but in 'chunks' of 3 to 6 times the same thing in a few minutes and then pausing for a long while. So just by re-arranging the (spam-)address-lists and sending at least twice the amount of spam, greylisting may be circumvented. Just an idea, because we currently/suddenly get over 20% more spams for the last few days.
