If they want to receive/send mails in a timely manner, they should be 
configured to cope well with temporary failures, after all *they* decide 
to refuse the mail.
sender address verification isn't something people should use blindly, 
if you do so you block some mails the recipient are willing to receive. 
I'm not willing to poke holes in the greylisting process just to cope 
with what I still think is a (small) defect in the verify daemon. In 
fact if you really want to, you can configure Postfix itself to not 
greylist mails coming from the verification addresses.

If there really is a need, I can write how to configure Postfix to do so 
in SQLgrey's HOWTO.

Unless there are some new hard arguments for adding address-based 
whitelists to SQLgrey and not modifying the verify daemon, let us keep 
this on sqlgrey-users in the next messages.

Best regards,
