No, in that situation greylisting would be contra productive.

Real time sender verification with your Postfix. I use it for
fetchmailed mail with milter-sender integrated into Sendmail. It saves
me from a lot of SPAM because many if not most senders of SPAM is faked
and thus not existing. This way, with sender address verification the
mail is simply discarded. An example from my logs:

   Milter: to=<fetchmail at metatron.dogma.lan>, reject=550 5.7.1 recipient
denied, because MX 10 'Vent.mokrohajska-school.sk.' [193.87.162.1] for
<pkramervb at mokrohajska-school.sk> rejected sender. Their reason
"<pkramervb at mokrohajska-school.sk>: User unknown": 1 Time(s)
   discarded: 1 Time(s)
