Have you tried SQLgrey? It uses some intelligence when deciding what to
Greylist - i.e. if it looks like a real mailserver (reverse lookup) it
will often pass the message straight through - sometimes it will allow
anything within the same class c network resend the message - other
times it insists the original host resends. It also AWLs entire domains
once it's seen enough legit traffic from the same mailservers...

- Granted SQLgrey doesn't help those braindead apps, but it does have
some good reporting via an add-on php interface.
