Just a matter of curiosity,

Why 53 seconds?, why not 300 (5 minutes), since every mta I know retries in
more than 5 minutes ?

Did you use spamdyke for this? 

The graylisting in spamdyke, afaik, acts only on e-mail addresses (the
From+To addresses), and not IP's, and I'm interested in knowing your
experiences with it.

I run greylisting on some of my mail servers, using a 52 second retry 
window.
Honestly, greylisting only blocks about 1% of the incoming spam - that's 
across the 4 servers I have running it. 3 years ago it was great. Now 
spammers try again anyway, if they're still around in an hour or two. 
For that matter, most of my spam is coming from Gmail these days.
