That was one of the first things I checked, but everything from the beginning 
of my mimedefang-filter-greylist looks right:

$minute = 60;
$hour = 60*$minute; 
$day = 24*$hour;    

$greylist = 1;
$gdb_black = 10*$minute;
$gdb_grey = 12*$hour;
$gdb_white = 30*$day;

The strange thing is that I can telnet to my mail server on port 25, and all 
the testing I do causes the greylisting to behave normally.  First new entry is 
always grey_new.  If I try a couple of connections during the 10 minute wait 
period, I get log entries with grey_black, but after 10 minutes I will get 
grey_white, indicating everything is working as it is supposed to be.  But my 
log files indicate otherwise... 335 entries since 3pm this afternoon.
