Greylist delay no good with info that expires quickly

I’ve had a frustrating afternoon. My bank sent a link by email that expired after 15 minutes.
But greylisting delayed the email. Why does miab greylist such an email, and can you change the delay?

Please use whitelisting. This is the only solution for now.

It would be nice to have a temporary off switch for greylisting, for situations like this. Similar to pihole.
Because you sometimes don’t know where the desired emails come from.

I’ll add it to my to-do list. And ignore it :woozy_face:
