It might be. Any half-sane greylisting implementation will have to have
some *reason* for greylisting the messages. Lack of reverse DNS is
certainly something that triggers greylisting on my systems.
You could also imagine people using SPF as a trigger — either an SPF
failure causing greylisting to happen, or an SPF 'pass' causing it to be
avoided. It's one of the few things that SPF might actually be useful
for.
