I'm seriously considering the protocol used by a client as an
indicator of a spam. I'm trying to be more selective when greylisting,
so if a client is using ESMTP and is not listed on a blacklist there
is a good chance that the message is legit.

I randomly looked at some spam messages of gmail account and all of
them were delivered using SMTP e not ESMTP.
