A client using our Spamdyke-enabled mail server has reported someone sending them an email received a "bounce" message notifying the sender that the messages has been graylisted (see the delivery failure notification below). They did receive the message (graylisting works well for us).
This is the first time I've heard of a soft failure resulting in a notification returning to the sender. If graylisting is a common practice, these notifications must be terribly annoying, however the sender (from the cdph.ca.gov network) seems surprised by the message. So either: A) graylisting is not very common, or B) cdph.ca.gov has an uncommon setup that sends annoying bounce messages. If graylisting will result in annoying senders with delivery failure notifications, I'd prefer to avoid that by disabling graylisting (doesn't matter who is to blame, what the RFCs say, etc). What do y'all think?
