I'm having issues with gld. Some spammers seem smart enough to retry in
5 minutes, but gmail retries from a different IP address each time, so
it gets blocked. Am I not using it right? or is this just collateral
damage?

So far, my greylist has 14 rows, with 5 of those being spams that
successfully navigated gld (and two more I expect to, soon), and two
rows are gmail, which hasn't. That's not a very good ratio in my opinion.
