Greylist, as in temporarily refuse a message, and wait for the sending
mail server to retry?  I don't see how it would work against hijacked
hotmail accounts, they most likely use the real hotmail service - which
would retry appropriately.  My own experience indicates that spammers
now often "correctly" retry deliveries, so greylisting is less effective
than it used to be.
