I would be interested in attempting this.  I'll let you know what I come 
with.

The Issues I am dealing with for Authenticating users go beyond 
GreyListing.  My configuration also includes customized installations of 
other MILTERs (such as MIMEDefang).  So with an Anti-Relaying 
configuration, GreyListing, Milter checks ..... SMTP Auth appears to be 
an Easy implementation, at least for the Clients.  But not necessarily 
for the Server Configuration.  At least not in what I am seeing.  
Perhaps I am missing something Simple?
