Greylisting (or graylisting) is a method of defending e-mail users against
spam. A mail transfer agent (MTA) using greylisting will "temporarily
reject" any email from a sender it does not recognize. If the mail is
legitimate, the originating server will, after a delay, try again and if
sufficient time has elapsed, the email will be accepted. If the mail is from
a spammer it will probably not be retried since a spammer goes through
thousands of email addresses and typically cannot afford the time delay to
retry.
