He already explained that he greylists only mail that scores above a limit.

In that case we can assume the spam scored high even before so it got
greylisted. In such case I doubt it was learned as ham, unless the
greylisting check is broken...

the question is, why it scored hammy?  aep, how did it score before
greylisting? Are you sure you do not have bug in your greylisting code?

Btw, I'm not sure if it should not be low scoring messages (spams) for which
greylisting is very good, since you won't become that early recipient...
