You can't control the delay, the remote end does, I usually whitelist
hosts that I know or do a lot of mail between, but lately I've really
been trying to figure out how to do this in amavis so that if the spam
score is under say 0 greylist, otherwise don't greylist, obviously this
will increase my server load so maybe something a little smarter again
where host seems spammy (or maybe just use RBLs) greylist, otherwise
check for spam and greylist if score > 1 otherwise let em in.

Anyone know how to do this?
