Greylisting is a crude hack to move local problems to the common internet out there. It's one of the most prominent anti-social developments.
This is slightly OT, but out of personal interest, can you elaborate on this ?
All MX where tried even the low priority ones: icann.org. MX 10 pechora4.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora5.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora6.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora7.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora8.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora1.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora2.icann.org. icann.org. MX 10 pechora3.icann.org.
So I have eight connections before the first "real" greylisting comes into effect. My mail system does not know the time window to retry in advance and usually failes to hit it withing the first three or four rounds.
That's not greylisting That's an odd setup But it's not greylisting that's causing your issues - the multiple MX records with the same priority are the problem
Does that stop spammers? No, spammers simply send email twice. So if you not running greylisting, you get even more spam.
That's incorrect
Overall greylisting is used to reduce the system load an the greylisters side in exchange for lot of additionals ressources at all communication partners and the whole internet.
