Does anyone know how greylisting affects milter-sav? What happens when I 
send an email to you and you attempt to verify me, and I greylist your 
attempt? You surely don't try to hold my delivery connection for 5 
minutes waiting to try again do you?

If you refuse the delivery, I'll try again later and the whole cycle 
would begin anew because without a successful connection within a 
specified time, you will never get make it into my whitelist correct?

for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
