For the last month or so Orpheus e-mail has been being
processed by something called milter-greylist-4.0.

As I recall, Peter Young has asked Paul Vigay publicly what
this does, apart from hold up our e-mail, but no explanation
has ever been forthcoming.

I have sent Paul an e-mail similar to this posting, hoping
that he can explain the milter-greylist delays. (Of course,
it may be some time arriving, since I assume that his e-mail
gets held up too, now.)

Today I received an important e-mail sent yesterday morning:

X-Greylist: Delayed for 24:49:58 by milter-greylist-4.0
(jenna.orpheusnet.co.uk [82.138.249.180]); Sat, 12 Jan 2008
11:17:01 +0000 (GMT)

Most of the e-mail I receive through Orpheus now gets held
up for at least an hour or so by this milter-greylis, making
prompt replies to customers questions impossible.

This is, IMO, without the benefit of further information,
simply an annoyance.
