Auto permanent whitelist would be bad, I'm assuming this is just a retention policy? It should only be for a short amount of time, a couple hours maybe, however, I believe the expiration used to be based on the first message time, not the last. If that is still true, then it should be bugged as it should be configurable. Also, as to expected delays should postgrey get turned back on. It's probably been about 18mos since I started using postgrey, and I was forced to drop postfix about 6 mos back. Anyway, I'm not positive which ones, I think it was AOL and MSN, but 2 big names were taking an identical and abnormally long delivery time. They were taking 18 minutes for delivery with the default 5 minute delay in postgrey. They'd resend 3 times at 1 minute intervals, and then wait another 15 minutes. Unfortunately, I no longer have a linux mailserver where I can review real mail logs to verify if this is still true. Oh, I never bothered to 'fix' it either, if they couldn't wait 18 minutes, then they should have picked up the phone!
