I have grey listing running and it seems to work well stopping the bulk
of spam. But I had one chap complaining last week that some one was
emailing him and it was failing to get through.
A quick log check showed

So I guess there server just never retried after being grey listed at
least not from the same host. Other than not greylisting I take it
theres no way of avoiding the odd incident like this
There email got returned with a 550 unable to relay error. I am no
expert at this but I do try and get things right and avoid causing other
people problems.
I have since whitelisted them ( using postgrey by the way ) .

Thanks
