Re: spamd delay times

>From the spamd man page:

GREYLISTING
When run in greylisting mode, spamd will run in the normal mode for
any
addresses blacklisted by spamd-setup(8). Connections from
addresses not
blacklisted by spamd-setup(8) will be considered for greylisting.
Such
connections will not be stuttered at (though see the -S option
above)

-S secs
Stutter at greylisted connections for the specified amount
of
seconds, after which the connection is not stuttered at.
De-
faults to 10.
