[RndTbl] Shaw dropping on greylist?

I have an apparent greylisting issue with Shaw.  I wonder if anyone else 
has noticed this.  Shaw's mail server appears to only try either a few 
times or for a limited amount of time and then give up.  I get lots of 
logs like the following (names have been changed to protect the guilty).  
After that, no further hits from that from address.

I had my greylisting time set to 29mins, but have now changed it to 15mins 
to try to get within the Shaw window.

Anyone else with a >16 min greylist delay might want to check their logs 
for similar behaviour, and/or take reports of missing emails more 
seriously.  Please report back if you see similar behaviour.

Thanks!
