Two days ago, my daily email Spam dropped by 99.1% (literally!). I also
noticed that messages are now delayed between a few minutes and over an
hour. This is consistent with a MTA Gray List setup. I called Level I
support, and they claimed complete ignorance. Big surprise. Does anyone
know if Speakeasy has started using this kind of technique. I don't
object to getting less Spam, but I want to understand _why_.

Not having my own mail server, I don't see how. The delays in
receiving messages from new sources is suggestive, but it doesn't tell
me _where_ the delay is happening.
