It seemed to me that "Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse tests"
don't have much to do with DNS blacklist tests or greylisting, so
turning "DCC tests" on or off shouldn't affect greylisting or DNSBL,
and vice versa.

For the legitimate but otherwise rejected mail I would think a postmaster
or abuse mailbox might get, that odd:
- A postmaster or abuse mailbox is not likely to benefit from
bulk mail, and so ought to have DCC tests turned on.
- Someone claiming to be falsely listed in a DNSBL won't be able
send a cartooney or other objection to your postmaster mailbox if
DNSBL checks are on.
Reports of spam containing evil URLs won't be able to get past
dccm/dccifd/dccproc DNSBL checks applied to message bodies to an
abuse mailbox.
- Someone sending from a broken SMTP client that can't get past greylisting
checks needs greylisting checks turned off for that mailbox.
Other role mailboxes can have other requirements. For example, DNS
contact mailboxes can get yearly legitimate bulk mail from registrars.
