The odd part in this whole issue is that sending with Postfix from the
same system is
FAST enough. Trying to switch to Exim (cause of extra config options)
ended up with this
BIG deliverability issue.

The grey list is something regular for hosts which do not send very
high volumes of email.
Not being able to proper retry a delivery cause of miss
implementations (or no implementation) could be
considered a bug ? Should i submit the bug or feature request ?
Triggering from cron:
# exim -qf
is not pretty nice for a workaround.
