This works great as you described, thanks.

Just for the record, I did the following:

Introduced new RCPT ACL:
warn    !condition     = ${if def:acl_m_valid_SRS}
         verify         = recipient/callout=20s,use_sender,defer_ok
    set acl_m_valid_SRS = $address_data
         condition      = ${if def:acl_m_valid_SRS}
         logwrite       = Valid SRS address, skipping greylisting.


Then, I added !condition = ${if def:acl_m_valid_SRS} to the appropriate
greylisting stanza in the DATA ACL.

Best,
Peter
