<DIV><SPAN class=064383214-01122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm in a quandary
here b/c greylisting is extremely effective right now at stopping 80 of the spam
and also 95 % of viruses. I love it for
that. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=064383214-01122004><FONT face=Arial
size=2>But there are occasions were I sign up for a forum or similar and it can
take quite a while to get a response. I get concerned that I might
delay someone's airline confirmation or make someone wait really long to
download a driver or look at an article that requires registration and
confirmation emails.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=064383214-01122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Road Runner for
example waits 1 hr on retries. Seems like 1/2 of the people we deal
with use road runner SMTP servers. 1 hour is a long time when you
have a blueprint coming to you. Of course to be fair I must say that
our great spam software white-lists all outgoing messages, so if you reply to
the delayed person they won't be delayed ever again.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
