Just to be complete, what is the value of TRIPLET_AUTH_TIMEOUT and 
SENDER_INACTIVE_EXPIRE in policyd.conf ? Those should be several days, 
to make sure mail can be delivered before policyd forgets about the 
sender&client again.

Also, check your logs for the possibility that the sender has mail 
delivered via several _different_ client machines. If delivery-attempts 
are made throgh a different "client" (i.e. sending MTA) each time, you 
need to do something specific to let it through, like whitelisting a 
whole range of ip-addresses or sender domains. One way is throuth the 
GREYLIST_HOSTADDR variable in policyd.conf, if the sending clients lie 
in the same range. I have mine set at 3, which means clients for the 
same sender must lie in the same /24-range.

I saw you got another reply about exchange being a bit strange, which 
rings a bell with me aswell, though I don't remember the spesifics. 
Maybe you should just whitelist that specific host to make sure it never 
expires, and be done with it. I don't remember ever being bitten by this.
