The greylist hack was an interim measure, but it's been an effective
one, at least here.  Though the spammers could get smarter, they
mostly haven't, or they call back within 30 seconds, and I now reject
those too.

I think one wants a less binary mechanism, where known correspondents
and their sending systems are identified and let through, but where
unknown correspondents can be permitted or rejected by the recipient
at first contact based on several criteria.  In addition, the mail
should be held by the sender until the recipient accepts or rejects
the mail.
