It is not only a matter of the raw statistics of actually not getting
a piece of mail.

My aim is to let good mail get into my domain as fast as humanly
possible. Having to retry once is bad enough, but having to retry twice
is too much, for me that is. Greylisting is a hack (meant to aid in the
combat of spamming drones who do not have a queueing mechanism,
and aim at sending as much mail as fast as humanly possible), and
the best way do describe using it is "something I must live with", it's
definetly not something I'd do by choice, and if I am doing it, I aim
at reducing the impact on the users as much as possible.
