I doubt it will be any use where you pull down your email with fetchmail
and imap since generally speaking greylisting is done during SMTP.

telnet servername 25

MAIL FROM:<someaddress>
RCPT TO:<somelegitimatelocaladdress>
DATA

See  if you  get  a 4xx  temporary  deferral at  some  time during  this
process. If you don't get one, then  make sure you're testing from an IP
that isn't allowed as a relay host.
