greet_pause Adds the greet_pause ruleset which enables open proxy
and SMTP slamming protection. The feature can take an
argument specifying the milliseconds to wait:
FEATURE(`greet_pause', `5000') dnl 5 seconds
If FEATURE(`access_db') is enabled, an access database
lookup with the GreetPause tag is done using client
hostname, domain, IP address, or subnet to determine the
pause time:
GreetPause:my.domain 0
GreetPause:example.com 5000
GreetPause:10.1.2 2000
GreetPause:127.0.0.1 0
When using FEATURE(`access_db'), the optional
FEATURE(`greet_pause') argument becomes the default if
nothing is found in the access database.

On a related note, what are people setting their timeout value to for
greet_pause?
