8 hotmail will retry every minute for 3 minutes. If you make the delay 30
9 secs you will see mail come in much quicker from a number of places
10 without accepting more spam. It's been my experience that mail is either
11 retried or it is not and the actual time of the delay doesn't matter.
12 Also setting the whitelist time to 63 days will keep infrequent emailers
13 from getting greylisted as often.

15 You might also checkout sqlgrey which has some nice twists like
16 whitelisting a domain after x successful deliveries in y time. The
17 ebuild is in bugzilla.
