OK thanks for the info. I'm trying to avoid a scenario with greylisting
and DNS load balancing, where SMTP client is temporary rejected on
mail1.example.com, then rejected again on mail2.example.com, etc.,
since the SMTP servers are not aware of each other's postscreen allow
lists.

I may just completely avoid deep protocol tests with postscreen. They
may result in long mail delivery delays when load balancing across
multiple servers.
