I agree, callbacks are pure stupidity. Since the only time callbacks
should only be used is when you have obtained pre-authorization from
the targeted mail server's administrator, you should also be able to
get authorization to be whitelisted from their greylisting.

If you are doing callbacks to random SMTP mail servers out on the net
that attempt to send you email, that is a far worse sin than
greylisting my friend.
