That's not greylisting. That's ...  I dunno what it's called ... 'confirm or 
you don't get your email through'. I don't like that system, it requires 
human intervention, and hurts people who get joe-jobbed. Greylisting on the 
other hand is completely done by the mail servers and only the servers. No 
humans harmed in the making of this fil...sending of this email.
