Aikorn Email Greylisting

Aikorn email servers utilize greylisting for all user email accounts as a method for combating spam.

Greylisting (sometimes spelled graylisting) is a method of defending electronic mail users against email spam. A mail transfer agent which uses greylisting will "temporarily reject" any email from a sender it does not recognize. If the mail is legitimate, the originating server will try again to send it later, at which time the destination will accept it. If the mail is from a spammer, it will probably not be retried, and spam sources which re-transmit later are more likely to be listed in DNSBLs and distributed signature systems. --wikipedia.com
For more a detailed explanation, please see the greylisting entry in wikipedia.
