Hello,

with greylisting, ASSP will send an SMTP Reply to resend the email
later:
451 4.7.1 Please try again in three minutes - Greylisting

The SMTP protocol defines that all 4xx errors are non permanent and
the Server should try it later. Normaly, the sending server just
retries it again and again until he gets an ok, an permanent error
(5xx) or a OK Messagae (2xx)
He should only send a error message to the end user if the final
delivery fails (after max tries - eg 48h) or if it gets an 5xx error.

So you won't see any bounce messages and your users will not be
informed.

The Sending server just retries it some minutes later an delivers his
mail.

The only disadvantages are that the first from any user will took some
minutes longer and that mail from mayor providers won't get to your
server as the sending IP changes on every delivery. These servers
should be excluded from greylisting (Which is assp default)

Greylisting is a common practice, so nearly all MTAs handle them as
expected.

Matti
