I just had a complaint about a message that was delivered with a delay of about 10 hours.
Looking at the logs, this is what i found:
Only at 2am the message eventually got accepted.
As you can see it always was being sent from the same server and same IP address.
The greylisting config shows the following
So it is my understanding that at the 16:26 attempt the message should have been accepted, but it was not.
Any ideas as to what the cause could be?
