Well, I wouldn't be surprised if nowadays defaults are like that. I haven't changed mine ever (the series of Debian servers that have hosted my domain have been continuously serving mail for almost 25 years). > Maybe they "tweaked" something :) I suspect that as soon as greylisting became common, they did. On the other hand, if they retry after 5 minutes, they'd get caught again by every greylister I know (all 10 min or more). So the question is how much do they back off? I guess if I worried about getting my mail delivered a few minutes faster (which I don't :-), I would set the retry schedule every 5m or 10m up to a total of 30m, then back off sort of exponentially 4h, 8h, 16h, then 24h for a total of maybe 5 days.
