This is one of the reasons I consider greylisting useless :)
I've seen this from this part of the world (oceania/asia area) for about
as long as greylisting came about.

It's the same ol same ol, we do something to stop em, they circumvent it, 
we counter it and they will try counter it again, and so on and as grey 
listing is the most simplest thing to get around, i've always regarded it 
as a joke, and all it does it build up your own outgoing queues, this 
might be fine for those who do 1K messages a day but when you do millions,
thats just not on, anyhow you might as well firewall off your primary MX 
making mail fail and force resend via secondary MX's.
