No, unfortunately not.  It's something I've been considering but with my 
current system setup I don't know of an easy way to implement it.  
Unfortunately the system setup is fixed due to the virtual hosting software 
being run on it.  There is a possibility this can change in the future, 
depending on our client setup, but right now we're stuck with it, so I can't do 
things like use amavisd or dovecot or whatever.

If I can easily implement greylisting from within sendmail without breaking the 
current setup, that's certainly something I'd consider doing...

Of course, I am aware of the debate regarding greylisting.  In particular, this 
can cause significant problems for "one-time password" emails, e.g. from banks, 
where a significant delay in delivery causes huge problems.  I'm not sure how 
to work around that.

Thanks.
