You're wasting other people's time to solve a problem that you have many
other better alternatives to solve.

Either accept the mail when it's offered in as efficient a manner as
possible (and then either deliver it as addressed or quarantine it); or
reject it outright right away.

Anything else, especially what has been inappropriately called
"greylisting", is an unnecessary abuse of the SMTP protocol and is a
continual ongoing waste of everyone's time and resources.
