I'm still unconvinced. I haven't seen any evidence to support this at all.
hmmm, unless I mis-read people's input, many people contributing to the
thread recognized there are issues and most have indicated a note that a IETF
document for greylisting would be a good thing.
I believe you cited an interest in an SMTP extension for a retry hint.
I mentioned how it could be done, but also expressed concern that it might not
be worth the trouble... also I said that greylisting wasn't the reason for such
an extension.
Personally I think writing up an RFC on greylisting will only dilute its
effectiveness as a spam countermeasure.
