Not necessarily. Take something like 'reportbug installation-reports'. [This is not a user mailing list, but a mailing list from debian, nevertheless.] A little google [1] on the list archives reveals that apparently greylisting is implemented on lists.debian.org. The fact that we still get spam just demonstrates, that greylisting (or any other measure) is not perfect at fighting spam.
