First question: did you configure the use of your greylist_acl?
When it should run at „RCPT TO“ time, you should set (in the global part
of the config)

    acl_smtp_rcpt = greylist_acl


And, I'd write the ACL this way:

    greylist_acl:
        accept  condition = ${run{/opt/nidelven/do_remote_callout.py \
                $local_part \
                $domain \
                $sender_address \
                $sender_host_address \
                $sender_helo_name}\
                {true}{false}}
        deny


And in this case you should make sure, that your command exists with a
zero exit value (as normal programs do) on success and with anything
else on verification error.

On the other hand, I'd investigate the problems regarding the built in
callout verification, except for some special requirements it should
just work.

Should. Should.

    condition = $acl_m8


should suffice.

But(!) I may be wrong, so double check my answer and have a look into
the spec file.
