Here's an example of one which I should probably track down in our SMTP

Obviously, I can't tell you if this particular entry has legitimate
reasons or not. However, I think you mentioned in an earlier message
that you didn't believe that a delay of the magnitude of 19 hours ought
to be possible. From a competent mail service, one would hope not, but
some months ago I found myself completely unable to send messages to
most FreeBSD mailing lists and debugged this with sterling help from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
My email provider could wait *days* before retrying an email which was
greylisted. It took four days for a message to arrive in test@ and the
mail logs clearly showed them failing to retry at any kind of acceptable
interval.
For the record, this was my broadband provider blueyonder.co.uk - now
owned by Virgin - who were *no help whatsoever*. Luckily, I have kept
up a dial-in provider as well and always used my email address from
them; they provide an authenticated SMTP gateway, so I'm not
disenfranchised any longer :-) (They've recently been taken over by
Tiscali, so I hope that their previous standard of service keeps up).
Just a data point for the archives. Great obspamd write-up too!
