Very interesting - and scary to be honest :( I'm guessing most greylisting software out there also operates with a set expire for each record? This being pretty high - obviously... 1-30 days or what is reasonable.

This would almost always be seen as the command line setting as sendmail -q30m. But this may have changed in recent Sendmail releases. I just checked a stock RHEL4 system and the queue retry time by default there is 1h. So from such a system a greylisting would delay the initial message by 1h. Subsequent messages would pass without delay. Bob
