Hello Nandor,

I'm glad it's working for you.

As for your suggestion, i'm not so sure that's a good idea. If you 
verify the recipient before enforcing greylisting, you'll be giving 
spammers an easier way to validate existing accounts. True that making 
recipient checking after greylisting will produce irrelevant triplets in 
the database, but i believe that the overhead is worth it.

If you still feel so confident that you really want that behaviour, let 
me know and i'll see what i can come up with.

Regards,

Hugo Monteiro.
