I don't think it does, but again... our customers have different
opinions on the matter.

Maybe most implementations do, but we use a hash of (sending-IP,
mail-from, rcpt-to, subject) as the greylist key.

(We actually use only the first three octets of an IPv4 address or the
first 64 bits of an IPv6 address to cope better with organizations that
legitimately have a pool of sending MTAs that round-robin the attempts.)
