I'd suggest to use ${mask:<IP address>/<bit count>} instead. regex is
not always the best solution. This also works with IPv6 (one should use
a different bit count for that, though).

Or, don't greylist the whole world by default, but only suspicious
connections, e.g. hosts listed in some dnslist (you can be very generous
about choosing them then), with unusual HELO/EHLO or from IPs which seem
to be dynamic. Works very fine here.

What's the big advantage over using the builtin sqlite support for
greylisting?
