your 'testmail' sent to me will not get through because I'm running
a 'greylisting' program on my mail-server - how could I proceed from this?

Turn off greylisting temporarily until the probes get through or whitelist the SC robot or (if both not possible) contatct Don (service[at]admin.spamcop.net) to see if there's anything else to be done. Those per http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6579 which I think is still current

Another way would be to resubmit your probe within the window configured on your server. It will be coming from the same sender and the same server which are the usual triggers. Other headers would be different, however.

Just keep sending the test email until your server accepts it. It may take a few tries.

Greylisting is just a process that waits for a mail server to try to send the mail again after initially being refused and then accepts the email. Spammers, and SpamCop, only try once and then give up.
