In greylisting the 451 is sent from the recipient's SMTP sender to the sender's SMTP server. The client software is irrelevant. They have bigger problems if their server doesn't implement a retry queue.

A random provider could be a hit-or-miss. I've personally used RackNerd (found them on LowEndBox/Talk) in the past and can't complain for the price. They have plans under $1/month, and they even provide an IPv4 address:

Not the same poster, but apparently they tried the $200/mo subscription, but after seeing they don't need it, they "subscribed to all three at their lowest subscriptions (for $60/mo)" instead.

For the record, I'm not backing the idea. Just pointing out that it's not eugenics. By the way, everything is a privilege in a modern society governed by laws. The state has the power to take children away from abusive parents. Do
