This option can be found under Tools & Settings -> Mail -> Spam Filter.
What is Greylisting?
Greylisting is a powerful Anti-Spam technology that is used to detect if the sending server of a message is RFC compliant. This is done through temporarily blocking unknown senders and caching details of the initial message. Since a majority of SPAM Servers or SPAMBots are not, large volumes of unwanted emails can potentially be filtered during SMTP transmission. Compliant Sending Mailservers, however, will resend the message after a short delay and it will be permitted.
How does Greylisting work?
When a message from an unknown sender arrives, it will be initially blocked by Greylisting. This block is in the form of a temporary 451 Error being returned to the Sending Server. This temporary error is considered by this server to be a "Delivery Delayed" notification and will resend the message after a period of time.
