     GreyListing Servers MAY issue multiple and different reply hints per

So I can end you a MAIL FROM and 1 RCPT TO, and get back two or
more *different* hints?

No.  One hint per RPCT.

Pay attention.. That's not what Hector's text actually says.  It specifically
says that multiple hints *per rcpt to* are allowed.  It it was one per rcpt,
it should say something like:

MAY issue a different hint for each RCPT TO received.

Thanks for the correction. I did write "Multiple and Different" but of course, not what I meant. Just different per response.

But imagine a "Work vs After-work" or "Busy vs Non-Busy" hours retry load control thing:

  421 After=9am Before=5pm Retry=00:00:55; After=5pm Retry=00:02:00

Lets not go there, but the draft can also suggest to developers to use the first "reply hint" found.
