You're absolutly sure about the greylisting on per sender/recipient
base?

That is, what I get from one of my machines (I never used this machine for
outgoing mail):

r...@hh:~# swaks -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -q rcpt
=== Trying f.mx.mail.yahoo.com:25...
=== Connected to f.mx.mail.yahoo.com.
<** 421 Message from (213.128.132.49) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50.
Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html
-> QUIT
*** Remote host closed connection unexpectedly.

About 5 minutes later it would work:

r...@hh:~# swaks -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -q rcpt
=== Trying e.mx.mail.yahoo.com:25...
=== Connected to e.mx.mail.yahoo.com.

=== Connection closed with remote host.
