The general policy is accept if the MTA appears in the database has having
tried to deliver before. But the database is pruned regularly. From their site:
Automatic maintenance
Postgrey does keep track not only of the first time a given triplet was
seen, but also the last time. Entries that were last seen more than a defined
amount of time ago (one month for example) get removed automatically.
Also there's:
Auto-whitelisting of clients
Clients which repeatedly show to be able to pass the greylist, are entered
in a "clients whitelist", for which no greylisting is done anymore.
I don't know what the exact criteria is to be auto-whitelisted, but it doesn't
seem to be overly liberal.
