Greylisting must be done during the SMTP transaction.

You seem to be using sendmail 8.12.10.  If that is true, then you might
switch to using dccm, but let dccm only add X-DCC headers that would
be used during your scoring.  This assumes that you are using MIMEDefang
during delivery instead of during the SMTP transaction.
