550 5.1.1 user unknown AND THEN 451 4.7.1 Please try again..

Dear all,

using V2.2.1 (13020) on up to date Ubuntu and everything works fine.
Except of the combination of VRFY recipient addresses and greylisting.

After a mail should normally be denied because the user mailbox is unknown ASSP sends a 451 4.7.1 AFTERWARDS!

This brings the spam sender to try again... and not to give up:

Mar-15-13 17:25:36 m1-64735-01473 [Worker_1] 178.22.171.154 <PAYVESUPPORT@AEXP.COM> [SMTP Error] 550 5.1.1 User unknown: enricohoffmann@xxxx.com
Mar-15-13 17:25:36 m1-64735-01473 [Worker_1] 178.22.171.154 <PAYVESUPPORT@AEXP.COM> [SMTP Status] 451 4.7.1 Please try again later

I don't find a way to configure the order or to tell ASSP to stop after VRFY.

What can I do?

Best regards!
Markus
