First-hand observations trump claims.

I see this 'not greylisting' and we are a fairly tiny operation (I had about 20k outbound emails last week) and don't allow people to autoforward email from our servers. I find that yahoo.com destined mail stays in the queue for about 48 hours, with a 1,1,2,4,4,4,4,etc... hour retry. As I tend to peak at a couple of hundred mail in the queue when things get busy, it's not a problem, but can see where it would be for larger operators. -- Eric Esslinger Information Services Manager Fayetteville Public Utilities Fayetteville, TN 37334 Phone: 931-433-1522x165 Fax: 931-433-0646 eesslinger@fpu-tn.com
