I was able to subscribe to the Linux-hotplug list in less than 15 seconds from my office location. No problems or delays at all. Using the same email address, mail server, authentication, etc. With the only difference being the originating IP address of the workstation.
The first was from home and the second was from the office. The office network is on the same network as the mail server. My home uses a different service of course. I run two computer systems with identical mail systems duplicating all incoming mail messages between the two systems, home and office. I use authentication on both, the home system requires authentication for my mail server to relay but the office system does not really require authentication since it is the local network. I have to conclude this greylisting policy is looking at the origination IP address and if it is different than the mail server network then it is blocked unless it is authenticated. But the test for authentication is not reliable. Hence, I had to send six mail messages from home to get two of them delivered! So this new system is not all that it should be.
