Eh... so this mail will have to go through this "greylist" process.
If I send another mail tomorow or next friday from the same 
client_ip/src_addr/dest_addr will it already be in the whitelist and
pass through without delay, or will it have to go through the "greylist"
process again ?

Que fifty people replying with the same answer to a question coz the
other 49 replies havn't hit the list yet... :)

Not that that doesn't happen already.... ;-)
