Re: [milter-greylist] greylist_delay time

2005-10-24 by Dennis Willson

I set mine at 2m and it seems to work fine. I could probably set it at 1m. I see a few Spammers retry a couple of times real fast 
(<30sec) but super little after that. I do however see lots of real email retry in the 3-10 minute range.
