[RndTbl] Shaw dropping on greylist?

[John Lange]

A 29 minute grey list!? Are the people using this server really ok with
a minimum 30 minute delay in getting their mail?

Given that mail zombie's usually only try once for each email address, I
have mine set to 30 seconds.

Granted, the bots are getting more sophisticated and sometimes try more
often but it's still effective.
