I've had the exact opposite experience. I've been using greylisting for almost a decade now. Greylisting is so common that people with broken mail servers is a non-issue. It is literally just exchange 2003 without any updates applied. That is a tiny number of servers, and they will generate bounce messages when trying to deliver to tons of domains, not just yours. Greylisting cuts down on a huge amount of spam with virtually no additional load on your server like content filtering does. So, yeah, greylisting... good, good idea...

Then you have not received any email from Comcast's email servers (or at least the few I've seen).

The one's I've seen retry three times to a temp fail in 1 second intervals, then bounce back to the recipient.
