Yes, that's indeed a problem; but how likely would that be?
Cellular operators know that their clients expect speedy
delivery of SMS, including those sent via SMTP. They know
better than to introduce greylisting latency at the gateway
when there's already normal latency at the SMSC.

Have you confirmed with your cellular operator that they
don't offer additional gateways; e.g. based on ICQ, HTTP
and whatnot? Most likely, they don't offer SMPP-over-TCP
connections to end-users ( http://www.smsforum.net/ ),
but probably to a couple of third-party providers that
you could use instead?

-cpghost.
