I hope, Martin, that you don't consider this as simply adversarial; the
fact is that I'm currently studying greylisting with an eye toward
prompt implementation.
I know that Marc manages email for a lot of email addresses and is
currently testing what he writes about. (I use him for about a third
of the domains on one of our shared hosting servers.)
Do you have specific experience to show that in realworld application
the MTA may take much longer to move to the second MX?
