After reading about all the servers which don't work with greylisting
(mostly outgoing smtp pools, this was awhile ago), I only greylist if
the message reaches a high enough spammassassin score.

As well I want auditability, so I need to accept the entire message
even if its going to be greylisted.

Yes, but then I place complete trust in spamhaus to manage my email
with no auditability. And sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org has been replaced by
zen.spamhaus.org.
