I initially forwarded this to the author of gld, but I didn't realize that this is not something that may be changed in postfix-gld. Greylisting is implemented via "defer_if_permit". The error code for defer_if_permit is hardcoded in the Postfix source code, and it may not be changed by a policy daemon. For reference, read this message from Victor Duchovni: http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0409/2052.html So, this wishlist bug does not make much sense as a postfix-gld wishlist bug. It might make some sense as a postfix wishlist bug (or not, the maintainer will decide), so I'm reassigning this to the postfix package, as that's the only place where the option you ask could be implemented.
