I was talking about registration mails from 'poorly written' applications. Mail comes after one hour. I am cool.

I am aware that most prominent site do this the right way, but just wanted to mention that some do not.

About the problem with gmail, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the info. I will go grep my logs now. :)

Aaahh.. google is inside my whitelist. :) That explains it.

btw: anybody needs to see a list of 'no-retry' servers, check out:

/etc/postgrey/whitelist_clients

The issue there being that if Google ever changes their internal network structure, you lose mail until someone notices. Personally, I don't like coupling myself to other networks that tightly, and I also don't like losing email.

So no greylisting for me.

Spam from @gmail.com is increasing nowadays, AFAICT.
