This is not a new suggestion, and nobody I know has ever implemented it
other than as small scale experiments.  The point of greylisting is to
test the retry logic that every real MTA already has, not to invent
yet another hack on the client side.

MTAs run their own retry schedules and it would generally not be easy
to have special schedules for specific messages.
