pf works on the ip level. If you want to block/whitelist/do anything
with hostnames, *something* is going to have to do the necessairy name
lookups. This is usually handled by your MTA.

Since pf is used to do the redirecting, you'd have to have spamd do the
lookups then somehow give an already established connection over to the
MTA you're using.

Circumventing this per target domain is not difficult: Provide a non-
greylisted MTA and point MXes to that. Per user isn't going to work for
obvious reasons. Consider at what point in the transaction the target
user becomes known.

Wouldn't it be time to find someone with the relevant experience to run
it, or at least help set it up? You'll need someone with abuse handling
and spam hunting experience as well.
