Safely blacklisted??

Very inconsiderate of users of some ISP and free mail services.
I greylist for 3 min and only one message per week in average
(I greylist only suspicious mail and use several whitelists),
but for example http://wiki.exim.org/DbLessGreyListing
suggests 1 hour, often quoted fugure is 30 min;
@rambler.ru, @ukr.net and @yahoo.com free mail services greylist for few hours;
@gmail.com recently began to greylist part of mail as far as I heard.

Don't confuse users with lazy, incompetent or opinionated admins.
Such admins do have not dumb users. Not every user can switch ISP.
Nor should (just because you prefer to keep your queue nice).
