The problem here is with the broken software you were using, not with
greylisting. Anything calling itself a mailer that refuses to queue
and retry when faced with a soft failure is so broken it should not be
let out of the intranet - and I would argue shouldn't be used there
either, given how many other things they probably got wrong too.
