Hi All
To answer David's post, extract from our scanning system for today.

X-Greylist: Delayed for 117:43:55 by milter-greylist-4.0.1
(avs3.netnorth.co.uk [82.148.225.24]); Tue, 18 Jan 2011 01:53:19 +0000 (GMT)
that's a greylist delay of **117:43:55* - almost 5 days !
Interesting 2 of our 3 scanning heads use a grey list system that uses
/32 addresses as part of the process, these two servers have 100's of
emails delayed for well over a day. Our 3rd scanning head uses a grey
list system that is less granular /24 , this does not.

The legitimate mail that passes through my mail server comes from
hosts / networks I might not hear from again for months, by which
time I have to potentially wait 24 hours for the greylisting / mail
server to try again.
My point is I've never encountered a client that waits 24h to retry.
Most retry within minutes and the longest I've seen is maybe 4h.
Regards,
David.
