Greylisting works by temporarily rejecting the first email from a sender at an ip address to a recipient, and then waiting the see if the sending mail server tries again as it should. If the server retries, the ip:sender:recipient tuple is added to a database and not delayed ever again.
Most spam-sending programs never retry, even with a temporary error. So greylisting would probably help in this case.
What would really help is SPF, if you can manage it. That way you can reject mail that claims to come from your domain but does not come from your mail servers. But this is all a bit OT, not really full disclosure.
