I actually made the choice in my implementation (based on SpamAssassin),
to accept the mail if any of the tuplets made with the receipients is
whitelisted.
Not only does it solve your problem, but I also believe it is the
correct thing to do: greylisting isn't about delaying mail no matter
what, but to stop spam.
If one of the tuplets already received mail, the sending mail server
will resend to all the other ones sooner or later, so you might as well
accept it now
