Hi.
Only one to use ;-)
Emmanuel Dreyfus (the owner) frequently is seen on the greylist mailing list, too.
Been using this for years, it works.
You need to tweak it a little and make sure that you whitelist
the mailing servers that have a "rather low frequency" ;-) of retrying.
(in my case some of the larger ISP's i.e. OPTUS, some TELSTRA servers etc).
I have had no trouble at all.
