Well, i mostly only get spam from outlook.com. So it might be no false
positive to blacklist them completly. More over, they don't react on
postmaster mails (if you ever get lucky to get them delivered).

However, since years I do not do a simple greylist approach as that is
not needed and to "stupid". I like and use the way, grossd is helping.
Only if the host is on two low priority blacklist or on one high trusted
blacklist, I do greylist them. All other mais don't get delayed.

A note about dnswl. I "missuse" one of their categories to blacklist
self tagged marketing provider. That is very efficient with simply no
false positive. (127.0.15.0/24)

On the other hand, not delaying all spf matches does not help as there
are spammers out there with a proper spf record.

Regards
