Milter-greylist

Hi,

I rty to run milter-greylist with the option -w 1m in
my fc3 linux system.  The process shows

3340 ?        Ssl    0:00
/usr/local/bin/milter-greylist -P
/var/run/milter-greylist.pid -u root -p
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock -L 24 -w 1m

When I sent a test mail to this system, the maillog
shows:

Feb  4 10:40:54 .. milter-greylist: ... delayed for
00:01:00
Feb  4 10:40:54 ...reject=451 4.7.1 Greylisting in
action, please come back in 00:01:00
...
Feb  4 10:42:37 pippo last message repeated 2 times
Feb  4 10:43:45 pippo last message repeated 3 times
...

The above number 00:01:00 looks matches my option 1m,
but the user did not receive mail until about 6m40s
later.  The mail header shows:

X-Greylist: Delayed for 00:06:43 by
milter-greylist-1.6 ...

It seems that no matter what I put with -w option, it
always delayed by about 6m40s unless it has been
whitelisted.  Is it normal?  If yes, what is the
purpose of -w option?

Also, if that's normal, how to change the standard
6m40s delay time?  If I have to change the code, which
line(s) of which file should I edit?

Thanks!

Harvey
