Thanks for your input. I will check out sqlgrey.

hotmail will retry every minute for 3 minutes. If you make the delay 30
secs you will see mail come in much quicker from a number of places
without accepting more spam. It's been my experience that mail is either
retried or it is not and the actual time of the delay doesn't matter.
Also setting the whitelist time to 63 days will keep infrequent emailers
from getting greylisted as often.
You might also checkout sqlgrey which has some nice twists like
whitelisting a domain after x successful deliveries in y time. The
ebuild is in bugzilla.
