Topic: Only receiving mail if the server feels like it

Good day,

I installed iRedMail today on my server,
and I can send e-mails just fine.

However, I can't receive any e-mails instantly.
I have tried e-mailing myself (from: me - to: me) and it took that message roughly 30 minutes to arrive.
Other e-mails that I have sent from external hosts have also arrived, but some haven't.

i.e: I send 10 mails, maybe 4 will arrive, and they will arrive very late.
I was hoping someone could help me with my issue.

I do believe I have set my MX records correctly.


==== Provide basic information to help troubleshoot and get quick answer ====
- iRedMail version: 0.7.3
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.

It's caused by greylisting, the spam killer.
Refer to this web site for more detail about greylisting: http://greylisting.org/
